I do agree that Gwen was being a tad OOC. But 3 years down the line I suppose that's to be expected. But executing a friend?! While it seems like the thing to do in the Dark Ages, it's not the thing to do in Camelot. The Golden Age. And it was weird the way she did it. Almost as manipulative as Morgana. "Just tell me the truth... Oh sorry, I sentence you to death."

I understand the reasoning was because she was upset about Arthur and Merlin(oh and the other expendable knights) being dead or captured. But I wish she was more independent in her reasoning. In this episode, she is Queen Guinevere, who must sacrifice her own values and self to do what is best for Camelot. But inteestingly Arthur in the same episode said not standing for your beliefs was Camelot's downfall. Gwen is having the same problem Arthur did as a prince, not listening to your heart. I've never heard of a heart telling you to kill someone. That's more of a gut retaliation instinct.
