See my icon? That's pretty much how I felt about tonight's episode. :P
Even Gwen getting to be awesome with a sword had to be tarnished by Arthur declaring how awful it must be to be saved by a girl.
That *really* annoyed me. It also made the scene with him telling Gwen how proud he was of her come across as patronizing and insincere. Way, way too much fail in this episode.
Next week makes me both intrigued and worried. I hate love triangles.
Except, the teaser makes it look like that's not, precisely, where they're going with it. All the voice over stuff about "Is it really Lancelot?" combined with shots of him looking shifty and Up To Something makes me think it's gonna be a mirror universe evil!Lancelot.
I'd wondered how they were gonna handle the whole Arthur-Gwen-Lance love triangle thing, but if that's the way they're going? Blech. Also, lame. Part of what makes the legend of Arthur so compelling and tragic is the whole doomed love dynamic.
