Wow, I think there's a little bit of a double standard here :S if Uther acts harshly towards someone, he is following the rules of the time, but if Arthur does so, he's sexist and machoistic? Can't say I agree, but ok :S

Anyway, I love this episode- interesting development all around- Lancelot- poor, poor Lancelot :( what a thing to happen, but he got an honourable burial anyway- and I think the message they thought was that because he was a honourable man, he felt so terrible about what he'd done

Bradley James' acting was amazing in the scene with Gwen- his mixture of anger and genuine sorrow was brilliant, and also, he told her not to kneel, so he clearly didn't want her to be purely submissive

Merlin and Gaius- yes, they knew she was enchanted, but probably if they told Arthur so, it would raise the question- how did they know? And yeah, that could lead to their deaths, as Arthur was intensely afraid of magic, just like Uther

And aww, I'm so glad, that despite Morgana's undoubtedly heinous dead in raising Lancelot from the dead, she did show some remorse, as she realised he wasn't like he used to be, and she shouldn't have done it- I like to think that for once, she would have approved of Merlin's action at the end :) <3
