User blog comment:Morganaforever/My thoughts on Gwen in series 5/@comment-5102537-20121217142009

I haven't watched the epsiodes between The Disir and The Drawing of the dark, so all I know is what others wrote about the episodes. But I do know that in The Drawing of the Dark, Gwen appeared to be an unimportant, zombie-like side-effect like Gaius. Gwen meanwhile reminds me a bit of a simple person who finally managed to rise up in status and is satisfied with the good life she has now, enjoying to be pampered and pleasing her husband who made it possible for her to reach the high status and wealth. It's a shame because Gwen had always been the quite opposite, someone with a strong mind, a good and wise heart, modest and honest. She was even wiser than Merlin was in season one, being the heart and soul of the right things to do in Camelot, and even Merlin had to learn from her.

She is nothing like that anymore. As a matter of fact, I dont know what kind of person she meanwhile is. I don't understand her anymore, neither do I understand Gaius, Merlin, Arthur or Morgana.

We should simply remind ourselves that there is no logical character development, no continuity, no clever progression but instead characters are either changed to extremes and to the complete opposite (Morgana, Uther), dull and fickle (Arthur) or they are side-effects (Gaius, Gwen, the knights).

As I said, the show has become total nonsense.
