User blog comment:Morganaforever/Episode Review: Another's Sorrow/@comment-5204542-20121028091803

I wonder if Gwen was actually more worried about what was going to happen to Arthur, than jealous of Mithian. I think Gwen wanted to make sure that Arthur was not seeking revenge for Uther's death by helping Mithian out. Gwen must have known that if Arthur wanted revenge then he would act rashly and probably try to kill Odin, instead of just rescuing Mithian's father and returning safely to Camelot. After all it wouldn't surprise me if Arthur killed Odin in a moment of passion. If Merlin wasn't there then Arthur would have, most likely, killed Odin. Though Arthur has developed a lot since series 2, he was very close to killing his own father in a moments passion. In episode 4.12, Arthur would have killed Agravaine if he had got the chance too. I reckon that Gwen was just worried that Arthur might abandon mission- rescue King Rodor and try to annihilate Odin.

Even with Morgana's time consisting of plans of Camelot  dominance and Arthur's annihilation, I do wonder why she doesn't think of Emrys now and again. I don't think Morgana will have given up looking for Emrys but she hasn't mentioned him in this series. Is Morgana not going to be worrying about the bandit king who held her captive for two years though? When is Morgana going to get her revenge on that bandit king? Is she trying to take over Camelot and make an army before she tries to kill the bandit king? I'm surprised that Morgana actually trusts Odin to help her. She doesn't seem to be too paranoid considering she spent two years in prison and being betrayed by Mordred. Morgana is a sorceress but Odin could easy trick her into bringing Arthur to him and then betray Morgana so that he can take over Camelot.

What has happened to Aithusa? Her and Morgana seem to be really close to each other so I wonder if Morgana just left the baby dragon in a cave for a couple of days or something?

I also don't get why Gaius doesn't listen to Merlin straight away when Merlin says that there is something wrong. Again Merlin says there is something wrong, no one believes him and he is proved right.

It was a really good episode though and I loved the beautiful throne room at the beginning. Even if Morgana's disguise was useless it was quite funny that Merlin and her used the same strategy. I also liked how the episode was linked in from s2 and s4 with Odin wanting to kill Arthur to avenge his son's death and Arthur wanting to kill Odin to avenge his father's death (though he didn't). Merlin showed some pretty awesome sword fighting and made that amazing magical earthquake. I also why Merlin is sometimes useless with a sword but sometimes can be quite skilled? The intensity in this episode has made me apprehensive about  the rest of the series. I mean the scene at the end with Gaius and Merlin talking about Morgana's powers getting as big as Merlin's was a really intense scene. Unlike the last episode this one left on an intense note. Overall, epic and intense is the best two words to describe this episode.
