User blog:Dryuuu/Guinevere in Series 5

Many of us by now, nearly (yes, time will fly) five seasons into the Merlin series, are starting to speculate and theorise Arthur's death.. yes, Arthur's death! Maybe even Merlin's as well.

What about the knights? Will they die during the war? I surely would expect some of them to. How come they always seem to escape everything- like the Dorocha, the dragons, the Southrons, Morgana etc. when all the others die? Sure, they're Arthur's most trusted, but all knights are supposed to be as well trained.

We're also speculating Gaius dying, because, the dragon has said his time was meant to be over. There is no use for him (sorry, Gaius, as much as we love you), and his death would truly allow Merlin's character to become a lot more independent.. and, yes, scheming, as he wouldn't have Gaius on his back saying this is a dangerous game you're playing, if you do that you'll risk this and that, and so on...

Gaius is usually right about everything he says, though. After all, he's the oldest character, and he is, Gaius! Besides, Arthur's got Merlin as an advisor now, he's slowly replacing Gaius.

Now, onto the topic, Guinevere. I bet many of you haven't considered Guinevere, have you? What will her part be? A prop there for the sake of being close to the legend- or will she become really important to moving the story forward.. will she become as devotd to the kingdom as Arthur is?

But more importantly, what will happen to her during the next battle for Camelot? (Perhaps involving Mordred, Aithusa, Morgana and a disguised Merlin) If Arthur dies, where will Gwen go? Will Gwen die?

What are your thoughts? What do you think awaits Gwen? What possible stories could they have come up with, other than old friends of Gwen's from another village needing her help?

Thanks!
