    “It’s the Unquenchable Flame. Said to be part of the burning bush itself.”

    What do you think about them incorporating religious themes into the show’s mythos? Do you think this means we could see the Holy Grail?

    They have already done that with the story of David and Saul.

    I think my MA in religious studies did not prepare me for the idea that Moses was in the Enchanted Forest.

    However, religious themes have been apart of this show since day one. This isn’t them incorporating anything. It’s them building on it, but they were smart and didn’t flat out name Moses or God/Yahweh. There are other burning plants in mythology so they are alluding to but covering their butts by being vague

    The unquenchable part reminds me of Maleficent.

    Yeah, I was going to suggest that yesterday. Perhaps (in-story) Arthur is referring to Maleficent’s bush that kept fire for years apparently. Maybe he got some before she tuck it back into herself.

    But eh *shrug*
