I've just watched that one Arthur/Gwen scene on YouTube, the one where she saves him from the gargoyle thingy and conveniently lands on top of him when they both fall down.
Admittedly, I hate the Harry & Sally Syndrome thingy with a passion. There's no reason whatsoever to introduce any kinda serious romance into Merlin other than it's just the thing everyone does in any given show.
Of course, I'll watch series 2 but I'm really not looking forward to another het pairing I gotta ignore as best I can. Series 1 did so much better in this respect.
Last but not least, I'd like to add that I wouldn't mind it at all if Gwen and Arthur decided to marry for the good of the kingdom (whatever) but would agree that they're just friends and Gwen would pursue a relationship with Lancelot. But Merlin being a family show this is so not gonna happen!

And I can totally see how this feels like coming out of left field. Gwen and Arthur only started to really interact in episode 1.10. Before that, there's never been anything noteworthy going on between them. And now they have her land on top of him like a frigging cliché!
