1. There’s a large amount of crisscrossing of religious symbolism going on here. On the one hand, there are crosses everywhere. On the other hand the synopsis reveals the spark of life is Prometheus’ flame. While I expect a dose of Christian symbolism due to Arthurian legend being set in medieval Christian Europe, it strikes me as odd to see a cross on the base of what what is presumably a pagan alter to the Greek god.

2. Both the original Dark One and present-day Merlin are dressed in black and have crosses on their belt buckles. Contrast that with earlier pictures of Merlin in white when he is with Nimue.

3. Whatever Nimue’s pendant symbolizes, I’m guessing it’s not a good thing. In Arthurian legend, Nimue is Merlin’s downfall. Hence, the FLOWERS OF DOOM.

4. Snow’s dress is lovely.
