It’s obvious that this is considered one of the key episodes in the development of Morgana into her dark side. I was just reading an excellent review on this episode at tvdotcom and agree with the reviewer in his/her perspective on this. I think for my supplemental discussion points for this particular episode, I’m going to grab some of the thoughts from this review.
Here are the questions/headings and suggestions for discussions:/b>
+ Best moment(s):
+ Worst moment(s):
+ Favourite quote(s):
+ Your thoughts on the villain of the week:
+ Best character development:
+ Best duo development:
+ Your thoughts on the plot progression and conclusion:
+ Anything else:
<b>Things you might discuss (taken from the review by SVFancross at tvdotcom):
+This was obviously a key episode with respect to Morgana’s journey to the dark side, but fell a little flat because of a lack of buildup in prior episodes. What do you think?
+ While watching this last night, I was struck by the fact that when Uther gave that final warning, he was talking directly to Morgana and knew she was the betrayer. (Hadn’t noticed that before.) She stared him back, and the way the scene played out, she didn’t deny it by her actions. What a compelling and emotional scene/confrontation between the two of them. I agree that it was a pivotal moment. But something in me brings a snag because in Season Three, Uther didn’t seem to be as wary of Morgana as he should have been, especially his reaction to everything in the final season 3 episodes. What do you think? How do you see this aspect of things?
+The reviewer feels the show did an excellent job of setting up Mordred for the future and why he would hate Arthur. Of course no one would dispute the performance by young Asa, the sweet child with Morgana and the ruthless killer and opponent of Merlin. Any thoughts on how this actually played out in Season 5?
+ According to the review, Arthur in this episode was indeed the killing machine. He slaughtered all who were not wearing a Camelot uniform. It was no wonder, said the reviewer, that Mordred, “whose instinctive use of lethal force was already unnerving, turns into a powerful, violent, and bitter enemy.” However, SVFancross blames this on Merlin, not Arthur. What do you think?
So there are the headings and suggestions for you to discuss after you watch the episode. Like it says in the post, you don't have to use all the headings or suggestions, feel free to discuss anything about the episode.
Have fun!
