Did enjoy Arthur being brave and standing up for his people. I like Hero!Arthur.
Apart from that scene, Arthur's characterization is very off in this episode IMO, and it was very disheartening to see how he treated Merlin. I hope this bipolarity is not going to be a recurring thing.
We saw in the Pilot that Gwen didn't think much of Arthur, back there with good reason...
It seemed to me that Gwen actually has always been attracted to Arthur from the very beginning, but with the whole status issue she was consciously and constantly trying to put herself in a more appropriate position. Hence, the flirting with Merlin and Lancelot.
