Ok, today I just wanted to mention the Uk series Merlin which returned to our screens on the 19th September. The first episode was a little bit of a disappointment, the episode resolved itself too neatly, there was too much CGI and the script lacked the charm of the first series. However, this week’s episode “The Once and Future Queen” resolved all that.
The humour that permeates this series returned in force and the, for want of a better term, cute storytelling is back as well. Interesting though, the first series of the show seemed determined to distance itself from the original legend, to create a new mythology, now, however, the show is showing signs of swinging back to the legend as Arthur and Guinevere finally kiss.
The show certainly retains the potential of the first series. Merlin’s promise in the season premiere to some day release the Dragon that lives below Camelot is sure to bring with it some interesting consequences. While Arthur’s eventual rise to the throne spells doom for Anthony Stewart Head, but when is the question. I wonder if Luther’s demise will coincide with filming starting on Ripper… God, I hope so!
