- Quotes
Elyan: You shouldn't have come back for me, Gwen. What were you thinking?
Gwen: You're probably right. You think I'd have learned by now. I only hope Arthur can think of something.
Elyan: Arthur?
Gwen: Prince Arthur. I came with him.
Elyan: Prince Arthur of Camelot?
Gwen: Yes, Elyan. Prince Arthur of Camelot.
Elyan: Why would he want to help you?
Gwen: Why shouldn't he?
Elyan: Uh, because he's a prince and you're a servant.
Gwen: He doesn't care about that sort of thing. He's, you know, chivalrous.
Elyan: Right. So he's like that with ALL the maids in Camelot?
Gwen: No. Yes. I mean...
Elyan: It seems that things have changed for you, Guinevere.
Gwen: Yes, I suppose they have.
Elyan: I'm glad.
So knowing that, I'd still give the overall show maybe a 6 because I've grown fond of it. THIS episode however... my god, I'm writing this episode letting it run just to get it over with so I know vaguely how the plot progresses. This episode is simply awful and beyond implausible. The whole thing is lacking any cohesion, I couldn't care less about any of this. I know the stakes are zero and nothing will happen, this is just throwaway adventure nonsense but it's not fun, it's torture through being obnoxious.
Completely agree with the other poster that said both Morgana's and Morgause are just the absolute worst. They're just the silliest villains ever written and it's almost hard not to take it as a personal affront to everyone of the feminine persuasion that the writers did this to them. They're clearly hitting cues, reacting as directed, and the priorities on the cutting room floor are just absolutely stupid. They always look fawning, fake mad, confused, or like they have to take a poop real bad because that's as far as they're allowed to look distressed. It'll ruin the Cosmo cover look if they let a genuine feeling through, it's all plastic.
The show is now ending... via magic miraculous escape. And I know this is a show about magic but magic can't fix stupid. And I was right, absolutely zero stakes or plot progress, almost an hour amounting not only to nothing for the further plot it was laborious and brutal to suffer through.
At this point I'm committing to watching this whole series simply bc I am the worst type of masochist and I'm enjoying the dreams I conjure while falling asleep enjoying the setting.
