I actually really did like this episode! I know I saw some reviews - blah blah, I know that's not a very good thing to say since I don't conduct polls about the episodes, and my knowledge comes from what I read at merlin_us's episode reaction post, BUT. Maybe I was just blinded by the acting of our two guest stars, but I did like it. However, I thought some of the characterization was odd; the moment where Merlin complained to Gaius about his workload and Gaius told him to suck it up reminded me of what occurred in "The Once and Future Queen," and Uther doubting Gaius reminded me of "A Remedy to Cure All Ills" - I think I was the only one, though, who thought the characterization kind of took a step backward. D: My reaction is here (http://community.livejournal.com/merlin_us/50065.html?thread=590225#t590225). I also thought the idea of Uther becoming so smitten with someone OTHER THAN Igraine and Arthur and Morgana not raising any questions about it was...strange. IDEK.
