I really liked Elena too. To the point where I wanted her and Arthur to get married. I do hope she comes back at some point.

Merlin being in charge was great but yes he was rather obvious carrying a magical staff about. Oh Merlin.

Arthur never wants Merlin to leave him ;-)

I would have liked to see more of that pillow fight.

It was great to see Arthur listening to Merlin. That was a really nice scene. I hope they keep that interaction up.

I too have little to no enthusiasm abotu A/G. The end scene was their best in the episode.

I wish I knew what Morgana's motivations were. I'm just not feeling it. Next week looks even worse.

Cendred is awesome.

I do enjoy the Merlin/Gwen friendship.
