Lead actor Colin Morgan sat down with the SyFy Network to give fans an insight on the eighth episode of Merlin‘s fifth season, “The Hollow Queen,” which aired for American fans just last night.
In the short video, Morgan introduced the episode as a continuation of the storyline involving an evil Gwen which has been building on the show over the past few episodes.
The eighth episode of Merlin‘s fifth and final season finds Queen Guinevere, who has been brainwashed by Morgana, determined to get rid of Arthur by any means necessary– a task the Queen is finding more and more difficult to complete with Merlin close at hand, ready to protect Arthur at any sign of foul play.
Morgan describes Gwen as both determined and ruthless in this episode and additionally, stresses that the Queen is very aware that Merlin is an obstacle in her path. Because of this, Morgan says that “The Hollow Queen” is “all about getting [Merlin] out of the way.”
Finally, Morgan explains how this week’s episode is very much a journey for Merlin.
“It starts off as a compassionate journey, which turns into one of impending doom which then quickly transpires into one of absolute desperation to get back to Camelot.” said Morgan.
