I am hoping her growth this season means the writers have caught on to that fact and they’ll continue this trend of giving her screentime in season 4.
God, I really hope so. I definitely think that recognizing that she COULD be with Arthur -- that she was worthy enough and that sometimes it's all right to lead with your heart -- was an important development for her this series, but now I want to see her coming to terms with the revelation that she might one-day be queen. She's accepted that she might be Arthur's wife (oh, she has MORE than accepted it -- if she were anyone else I'd swear she had a book hidden under her bed filled to the brim with dress ideas and first dance songs), but there's so much more that will accompany their union. Gwen has been a commoner and serving her entire life. She has so many leadership qualities, but so far she seems to prefer to follow than to lead (and just for a record, being a good follower? Pretty damn important and difficult). When the situation calls for it she rises to the occasion, but... So basically I want to see her struggling with the notion of ruling and eventually becoming a leader to the people. /bad mini essay
Agreed SO MUCH with Merlin taking down Morgause. WHY WAS THERE NO MAGICAL REVEAL? WTF. It's been three seasons and so far FOUR people know his secret, and one of those people died in the S1 finale and the other hasn't been seen since S2. Ughhhhhh.
Sometimes I wonder if Arthur hasn’t just decided he is supernaturally lucky or something and relies on that because most of his plans make absolutely no sense without accounting for Merlin’s help.
He has that angel from 1x04, remember? =P
I kind of don’t want to talk about Morgana.
This. It just makes me sad.
anyone else stare at him when he protested her shooting the people? And he cares since when...?
Well, to be fair, Uther doesn't enjoy killing non-magical beings. He's not completely bloodthirsty, and when he executes someone he does it because, in his mind, they've committed a crime. Morgana, on the other hand, started to massacre completely innocent people. :-\ It was still very hypocritical of him, however.
