Okay, so Arthur gave David the “Siege Perilous” (perilous seat). In Arthurian legend Merlin reserved it for the knight who would one day find the holy grail. Malory has Sir Galahad in the seat (older versions have Perceval sitting there) but according to legend it’s fatal to anyone else who is unworthy and sits there. Now, are writers going with legend and having this as foretelling that Charming is in mortal peril?

They really aren’t going to go into the whole holy grail myth because it is a religious tale. I can’t see Charming going in search of the cup of Christ. We do have a savior figure, though, and objects. Will Charming be the one to unite Excalibur? Erase Emma’s name from the daggar?

I don’t know why I’m postulating because they write this show by adhering to the Mad Libs school of writing. *sigh*
