We met a few of the Camelot characters tonight. Obviously, the guy in the movie theater is Merlin (Sword and Stone playing in the background…not subtle). Did you get any real sense of the new characters? What is the prophecy Arthur keeps speaking of? Where is Merlin now? Is Lancelot still alive?

The writers something like to play with us fans with things like that :).

September 27, 2015 at 11:58 pm #308582TheWatcherParticipantI don’t like Arthur for some reason. I already predict that guy has some hidden evulz about him.
Didn’t rumple say something about a magic tree this episode (I was partially distracted by a talkative sister constantly asking questions.) And didn’t Nimue turn Merlin into a tree? Maybe that’s where he is in present day.

September 28, 2015 at 12:41 am #308585KebParticipantIn at least one version, Nimue tricks Merlin (who has been lusting after her for ages and following her around) into teaching her a bit of magic. Then she traps him either in a cave under some rocks or inside a tree using the magic (it varies, as do most tales that old).

Last thing I saw the actor in, he was a terrorist, but I didn’t really get a shady vibe from him as Arthur, (yet).

Alas they’re done with Will, I’d be shocked if we ever see him again.

Once the Knights decided to keep the information about the dagger a secret they immediately became shady.
I wonder if they will have Emma remember Merlin. That might be a point of contention later on. He knew who she was and still left her to fulfill her fate as the savior. Couple that with what the Apprentice did to Lily, it creates a juicy story to explore.
September 28, 2015 at 6:28 pm #308666RumplesGirlKeymasterIt bothers me a bit that Emma keeps bumping into people who are magical, tell her about magic, tell her things that are otherworldly and still she didn’t believe a lick of what Henry told her back in S1

Ingrid wiped her memory of her didn’t she. Emma shouldn’t have remembered she had magic from the carnival fiasco. But wait, she only wiped her memory when Emma came to SB… So, yeah. Hmmm.
