Merlin Series 4 Episode 12: The Sword in the Stone: Part 1






Now … I thinking I’m …

Hmmm …

Yes, actually, I think ‘Hmmm’ seems to sum it up, at the moment.

You see, I’m talking here, about last night’s episode of Merlin: the first of the two-part series finale, and I’m thinking …

Well, you kind of get my point, here, don’t you … ?

Episode 12 — The Sword in the Stone: Part 1 — sees Morgana’s — Katy McGrath, at her Servalanesque best — plan to gain power in Camelot come to fruition.


Although her successful invasion of the main castle is spoiled by just one small thing.

The fact that Arthur has made an equally successful escape: an escape aided partly by an enchantment of Merlin’s — temporarily turning Arthur into an easily persuaded simpleton — and by meeting a band of smugglers led by lovers, Tristan and Isolde*.

Now, I was saying Hmmm, wasn’t I … ?

Yes, I was.

You see, The Sword in the Stone: Part 1 is a beautifully done little episode: it sets the tone for the two parts, with the right mix of both menace and humour.

But I’m ALSO very aware that it’s exactly that: the first episode of a pair, in the season finale.

I think we’ll have to see what happens next week.

I’ll be watching, I know that.












* Proving, once again, that the writers of Merlin know how to plunder their sources. Sorry, did I say plunder … ? I meant ‘Do their research’ … … … … … … …

    Hey, this is what writers do. They either plunder or they just make it up. :)

I love it when someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.

Thank you.
