User blog comment:EmrysOfAlbion/Arthur's Bane Theories/@comment-3012002-20120925235053

Well these are all really good theories but I think if Arthur had to choose between his wife and best friend he would be tearing himself apart if he chose between them and I think as well that Arthur will be sowing the seeds of his own destruction by trusting Mordred who he has no idea will someday kill him in battle. As much as I would love to see Gwen pregnant with the heir to the throne I don't think it would be a good idea if they revealed that she was pregnant in the opening two-parter as if she was, Arthur would become overprotective of her and get little done and imagine if Morgana found out. All hell would break loose. I think if they do have a baby the pregnancy reveal should really wait until like episode 3 or 4 that way we get to see more of her and Arthur as a couple as opposed to Arthur and Merlin going on their little quests and Merlin's little quests of his own and what not.
