I have to agree with you. The relationships worked a lot better in S1. There was a balance there that has been lsot. As soon as the epic A/G love story began Arthur stopped interacting much with Morgana, Gwen stopped itneracting much with her good friend Merlin, Morgana and Gwen started fallling out for no apparent reason and Merlin and Arthur's relationship entered a weird holding pattern.
What has Gwen been doing is my big quesion. Her entire role in the show has pretty much been reduced to Arthur's love interest. It's like she doesn't even really exist outside fof that. Her characterisation is becoming love interest with no depth. *sigh*
I do think they should have cut the bucket bit. That scene was working up until that piont.
I think they they use Merlin/Arthur for comic relief in heavy episodes because the writing is too lazy or uncreative to find other ways. But mostly I was happy with it.
Whether I will be after an entire season of this without enough balance we shall see.
Oh the evil smirks. After awhile I just couldn't take them seriously.
But awww Arthur/Morgana hug.
I'll be interested to see of the two of them keep interacting.
(I admit if Arthur/Merlin/Morgana woud make a heck of a threesome...until canon does something to stop me thinking that)
Cendred/Morgause ftw! They are sort of awesome together. I like how there's a histpry and relationship there. And they both know each other well.
Morgana has some lovely new outfits.
You know I wish we saw more of what Merlin is capable of. As someone out it the more we see of pther magic users the less special Mlerin seems to be. Morgause can do magic without incantation, Mordred is as powerful etc. What is is abotu Merlin now that's so special?
I would love to see him actually use the power of life and death. It's a big thing. But from what Colin has been saying in interviews it does seem as if we're not going to see much magic. Which is a shame because it was a such thing back in season 1, even parts of season 2.
I felt sorry for Uther up to the whole - he drowned children! bit.
