Hhhmmm, I finally had time to watch this and the last week episode, and I have to say my theory of Gwen being replaced with a doppelgänger is growing thin. There's just things that a mimic wouldn't know, but there are also things that only the Queen would know, like for example that Merlin has magic.
She was so willing to stay in the chamber and not do Morgana's bidding at the Dark Tower, but in this and the previous one, Gwen has been like a mirror image. But knowing how wrong I have been about all exciting angles in the past, I really doubt the producers would have embraced the mythology.
The one another thing we got in this episode was the explanation for Morgana's two year suffering in the pit. And I feel a bit saddened they had to kill of the poor king before he could had more chances to richen the surrounding landscapes. And I for one, cannot understand the geography of mythical Albinion as the armours and the weaponry the Amata's men were carrying pointed to the far east landscape. Even their skin and hair were suitable for that region.
So where does this lead us as the series are drawing to the saddened ending of Arthur being mortally wounded in the hands of Mordred?
I don't know, but it certainly doesn't leave much of room for the quest of Holy Grail, or killing of the great dragon or any of the other stuff. Then again, the producers had gone down the route where they have altered the whole thing and turned it upside down. So, I feel a bit sad that younger generation won't known much about what is really standing behind the legend.

Notice the absence of Gwaine and Percy? What were they up to then, eh? Eh?
Oiling their muscles.

Well... to be honest, I didn't really notice Gwen's dress, I was too busy thinking have her breasts got bigger?!
You surprise me week by week. Why you were watching her tits?
