Also, now that Merlin has been officially revealed, what do you think of him and what little backstory we have?

I LOVE HIM!!!!!! I find the lost love backstory a bit cliché. Well. REALLY CLICHE. But this seems to be the formula on this show. Lost love or missing/crazy/evil parentals..

But yeah, Merlin is already epic. Cant wait to see more.

Who was the Dark One?

Honestly… in knowing that merlin tied the darkness to him, I am guessing either 1) Someone that his love also loved and so tying the darkness to him was sort of a way to get rid of the competition (hey everyones got a dark side, right?) and so perhaps the dark one killed her or imprisoned her as a way of revenge. 2) Family. Some kind of crazy/evil family member of Merlins. 3) A close friend turned enemy. Literally the dark to Merlin’s light.

Who was the woman?

Lady Of The Lake? Black Fairy? Both?
