My questions for discussion:
1. What do you think were Nimueh’s motives for sending a plaque to Camelot other than the most obvious? (without knowing what we learnt in her next appearance/s)
2. This marks the first appearance of Gwen’s father, what did you think of him? Did you get the feeling that he has a close relationship with his daughter? Or did you feel we should have had more scenes of them together in this episode?
3. What did you think of Gaius and Merlin’s investigation of the cause of the plague? Did you think that they should have worked it out earlier?
4. How did you feel Uther handled the situation with the plague? Do you think that Arthur agreed with his father’s handling of the situation?
5. Discuss Gwen and Merlin’s relationship progress in this episode.
6. Do you think Merlin was reckless in using magic to save Gwen’s father? Do you think he fully considered the consequences of his actions or was acting from his heart solely?
7. What do you think you of Arthur’s character progression in this episode? What hints did you see that makes you think that he knew Gwen was innocent? What were they? Do you think he came to this conclusion because of Morgana’s speech to Uther or due to his own observations?
8. Did you think that Gaius should have spoken up to Uther about Gwen, proclaiming her innocence or was he right in finding proof of her innocence through evidence first?
9. What did you think of Morgana’s devotion to Gwen? Was it genuine at this point? (seeing as we know how that friendship ends)
10. Arthur manages to convince the council and his father that Merlin is love sick; do you think that Arthur feels that Merlin does indeed have a crush on Gwen? Or was Arthur just coming up with an excuse to save his servant?
11. Morgana agrees to help Merlin and Gaius prove Gwen’s innocence and approaches Arthur; what did you feel about that exchange? Did you notice any differences or similarities between this scene and the Arwen scene in 2x07 when Gwen agrees to do the same thing?
12. When Arthur says “Maybe it is because I haven’t found the right person to love”, do you believe him? Is this a hint to the fact that he ends up marrying Gwen? (seeing as this is what indeed does happen in series 4)
13. Discuss any plot holes you discovered in this episode.
14. How did you find the pacing of the episode when compared to the last two episodes?
15. What are your thoughts on the Great Dragon’s talk with Merlin on how he can stop the plague?
16. What were your favourite moments from the episode?
*~*
Sorry that I posted a lot of questions. But once I started thinking of them, they kept coming. You don’t have to answer all of them. You can answer the ones that you want. Hell, if you want you could come back several times to answer them. It’s up to you.
I really enjoyed watching this episode and can’t wait to discuss it with everyone.
Have fun!
