Merlin Episode 11: The Sorcerer’s Shadow

*Spoilers*

You know, I’ve got to admit, I’ve started this one, towards the end of tonight’s episode of Merlin, The Sorcerer’s Shadow.

And I’m quietly impressed …

Tonight’s episode sees Camelot hosting a no-holds-barred, open knockout tournament.

And I mean knockout.

One in which Uther himself intends to take part in.

But which also sees an unknown young man — Gilli, played by Ian Burfield — taken to the field.

A young man who unknown to all but the perceptive Merlin and Gaius, is using the powers inherent in a magical ring that’s Gilli has inherited from his father.

And his intention … ?

His intention is one that sees Merlin going for help to the Dragon.

Gilli intends to have a serious go at Uther, himself …

Now, I said I was impressed with this episode.

And that’s true …

It strikes me that Shine and co are doing rather well with the more character driven episodes.

And The Sorcerer’s Shadow — while I think it’s not necessarily going to add anything huge to the overall Series 3 story arc — is much like Love in the Time Of Dragons.

Something that tells of about the characters we’ve come to know.

Post a Comment

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.
