Episode #23 — 1×06 Rewatch: Beetle Mania

Hosted by Pamela Gocobachi, Jessica Chapman, Patricia Spence

March 14, 2013

We’re continuing with our Merlin rewatch series this week with a rehash of 1×06: “A Remedy To Cure All Ills”!

This week’s episode is chock full of discussion about everyone’s favorite mentor/court physician, Gaius– listen along as the hosts theorize about Gaius’ backstory and the evolution of his relationships with other members of Camelot!

shownotes:
– This is Gaius-centric episode and it shows right off the bat!
– Jess, Patricia, and Pam can’t even with the creepy crawlies
– A scene between Gaius and Geoffrey of Monmouth cause the hosts to speculate over whether or not Geoffrey could have practiced magic before the Great Purge
– We can’t believe that Gaius and Kilgharrah have a history!
– Why has Gaius never mentioned that he knew of Merlin and Arthur’s destinies before?
– Could Arthur and Merlin have fulfilled their destiny so early on if Uther had died at Edwin’s hand in this episode?
– The hosts theorize over Gauis and Uther’s back stories
– Could Gaius have been Uther’s manservant when he was young just like Merlin is Arthur’s now?
– Is Uther a fickle friend or is he sincere when he tells Gaius he’ll never doubt his loyalty again?
– We wrap up the show by reading YOUR answers to our Question of the Week from our Tumblr! – Gwen is paired with quite a few men in season 1 of Merlin but which do you think the future Queen of Camelot has the most chemistry with and why?
