WHY did Nimue not melt into dust when she drank from the grail? The man that was with MERLIN in the beginning of the episode .. melted into dust when he drank from the grail and I presumed it was because he had an impure heart. I think Nimue had a dark impure heart as she was consumed with vengeance and revenge. She should have melted away into nothing when she picked up and drank from the cup.

.[adrotate group="5"]HEART OF DARKNESS…. Anyway, probably the most nonsensical thing about this episode was Merlin’s “I can’t stop Vortigan cause killing would turn me dark”. There’s probably A MILLION other ways he could stop him, why are the only options to kill or do nothing?
I agree with you VORTIGAN could have been put into suspended animation so he could not harm anyone else. He could be sent into a jail cell… there were many things Merlin could do besides kill VORTIGAN. SOMETIMES the writers are not very creative. I think wasting our time with BRAVE they could have found alternatives to their stand by MAGIC MC GUFFINS or VIOLENCE as a answer to every problem. sOLUTIONS in ONCE are getting kind of standardized & boring.

.Gathering of Dark Ones at the end of the episode
That must have been a reference to Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart”. The visuals and the lyrics fit.
I thought the gathering of the DARK ONEs were like VERY TALL JAWAS from STAR WARS… hooded with red shiny eyes… they even walked liked the JAWAS.
JEFF & COLLEEN did a detail comparison of this story to the STAR WARS mythology in their FIRST THOUGHTS PODCAST. I found it to be very interesting and on point. I have watched the Star Wars movies and animated cartoons frequently I could really see how that A&E did bring a lot of themes to ONCE.
okay … the curmudgeon here … reporting in ….
Basically I liked most of the show …. but something that I am having a hard time swallowing ….ONCE has been very good about not mixing religion and the story line. I am having a hard time with the HOLY GRAIL a cup that supposedly relates to the last supper and Jesus sacrifice on the cross being converted to a sword an item of violence. As far as I am concern this I found this entire concept to be offensive. I do not think they should have used the HOLY GRAIL as a basis for a sword.

.I like science fiction and folk tales as much as anybody else but I think they should not use religious symbols and icons in a disrespectful way.

HERO TO ZERO or is it ZERO TO HERO ….

.I think this episode will be better than last week’s episode …. the sneak peek look pretty good.
.
.this must be the WAR that Rumple predicted in the very beginning of the series …. the fight between good and evil…
