I am English and love that our tv shows have no problem casting whoever does the best job regardless of the colour of their skin I couldn't imagine anyone else doing a better job of playing Gwen as Angel. She is so talented and I love all her scenes I especially love how she portrays her emotions when Gwen cry's it is so heartbreaking to watch Angel does an amazing job.

As for the triangle this telling of the story is so different to the other legends, for one they have Guinevere as a Maid to Morgana and in legends she is a lady betrothed to Arthur. Gwen has a choice in Merlin and she chose Arthur as that is where her heart truly lies.

S4 is going so well and I love the character building they are doing for Gwen they are building her storyline up which I am so pleased about

You are absolutely right. Merlin definitely has its issues with racism in the fandom, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen such racist venom as I’ve seen in the True Blood fandom. Yikes.

This is an excellent point. This could also be another reason why Bradley steers clear of the Arthur/Gwen discussion or when he does comment he says something that’s completely off the wall and oftentimes offends some in the fanbase. He doesn’t want to encourage the overzealous fans of the pairing and/or he doesn’t want to encourage speculation that there is something romantic between him and Angel by praising the fictional pairing too much. In recent interviews even Angel sometimes seems to become a little exasperated when asked about Arthur/Gwen.

I remember reading about the 3x10 vs 3x8 debacle. Actually 3x10 (Queen of Hearts) was filmed and originally supposed to air as 3x8. Therefore 3x8 (The Eye of the Phoenix) was supposed to air as 3x10. When Bradley tweeted about 3x10 being his favorite episode he really meant The Eye of the Phoenix not Queen of Hearts. I do agree though, if his plan is to make it in Hollywood he will need to embrace his inner romantic lead.
Exactly. I think he and Angel do an awesome job at making me believe in their characters and at the end of the day that’s all that matters to me. Though I do enjoy speculating too.

Emma - Well said. I totally agree.

Angel and Bradley both do an amazing job making their characters believable and making them love the pair so much

Thank ursa major It is so great to see Gwen getting scenes by herself and becoming the Queen we know she'll be one day

I can't stop re watching this scene and laughing at the faces Angel makes.

Aw beautiful gifs. That would've been me if I were Gwen too. Loved the faces she was making. Notice how she really couldn't watch. It looked like she'd only look up after she heard the knife hit the board, meaning it had missed Arthur.

I love those gifs she didn't know what to do or where to look when those knives where being thrown at Arthur she was holding her breath and then that sigh of relief when it was all over and he was ok!

Angel was brilliant as always. She portrays so much with just a look

Ursa Major where are you watching Merlin?

ursa major

All three seasons, along with new episodes from Series 4 can be watched for free at the following:

Thank you. Finding episodes on megavideo only was beyond frustrating.

ursa major

You're welcome

Just an FYI, Torrent takes several hours to make the new episodes available. Watch_Series and TVLinks have the new episodes up within 2-3 hours after airing on BBC1. Personally, I tend to like TVLinks a little better. I've had minimal issues with buffering and they look to get the episodes up quicker than the other sites.

Guinevere trying to be calm and supportive of Arthur's idiotic behavior - being a target on the knife board.



I wonder what's next for Angel now that they are done filming Series 4. I know that she said on SFTW that she's of course looking for work. Hopefully, she get something between seasons this year.

It would be great to see her in something else. She really seems interested in theater but I'd love to see her in a major motion. BTW I read on tv.com that Bradley has signed on for a new project. Sorry didn't mean to quote the picture...sorry.

Love that gif she does try to be supportive of Arthur even his dangerous choices like being a target on a knife board

I would love to see Angel in another tv or movie project and if she did do theatre work between filming Merlin I would try my hardest to get tickets to what she was doing

ursa major

Like merthurwen said it seems like she's really interested in doing some theater work, which is great. Being that it's a live performance, it'd be a wonderful way for her to continue to hone her are already great acting ability.

For selfish reasons, I'd like to see her do another film or tv project during the hiatus. At least I'd have an opportunity to see it which wouldn't be the case if she did theater work since I live in the US.

So the other sites are buzzing about the release of the script for 4x3. Apparently there were some very poignant scenes for Guinevere in the episode that were cut.

Summary of cut scenes:

The bolded scenes are the ones I'm miffed about being cut. As viewers and fans of Guinevere, many of us have been waiting years to see what Gwen thinks of magic. For it to be cut in an episode about legalizing magic etc, is baffling. I know that the center of the show is Merlin and his relationship with Arthur, but it wouldn't have taken anything away from Merlin and Arthur's interactions if we'd gotten a few seconds of Gwen being asked an opinion and giving it which is so rare on this show.
