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 MerlinThe 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.


Well …

Look’s like Christmas — and the overall Merlin finalé — can’t come too soon …

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.
