Phew … !
No, seriously: it’s another Phew.
Or maybe I should call that a Saturday Night Phew … ?
Either way, what I’m trying to say, hear, is relatively simple.
Tonight’s episode of Merlin — The Drawing of the Dark, episode 11 of the final fifth series — was … well, I’m thinking ‘rivetingly fantastic’ might just be overdoing it.
But could equally be bloody accurate. I think, here, that the comments box is what the phrase ‘You Tell ME’ was designed for.
~~~~~
But let me try and summarize, first, though.
The Drawing of the Dark opens with the Knights of Camelot finding a wagon from the kingdom: one that’s been attacked by Morgana’s Saxons.
And that that’s accompanied by Kara, a Druid and old friend of Mordred: who Mordred is still enamoured of.
And who Mordred initially releases: and treats, with some herbs, stolen from Gaius’ infirmary.
Of course, the only person who realises what’s happening is Merlin himself.
Which leads to a confrontation between the two: and the eventual capture of Kara, the Druid girl that Mordred is so taken with, along with Mordred, himself.
Capture … Execution …
Mordred’s escape …
And his eventual betrayal of Merlin.
Look’s like Christmas — and the overall Merlin finalé — can’t come too soon …
