'Merlin': 'The Dark Tower' spoiler-free review
After the magical dilemma presented द्वारा 'The Disir', it is very much back to the दिन job for Merlin and crew this week. With this episode from series co-creator Julian Jones, the story will clearly has implications for the series’ ongoing arc.
We begin with Gwen and Elyan, who have ridden out to lay फूल on their father’s unmarked grave. On their return the party encounter a trap and in fleeing from the scene Gwen is abducted. With Arthur bereft and the Knights in shock, especially Elyan who feels entirely responsible, they ride out to rescue their Queen.
Following Morgana’s trail, they are lead inexorably towards the Dark Tower of the title. With a distracted Arthur, it is up to Merlin to keep the Knights spirits up. After an encounter with a diminutive magical creature, he manages to use his magical instincts to keep them surreptitiously on course. This of course requires the suspension of a little disbelief but then, we are used to Arthur being less than perceptive when it comes to magic!
In the tower, Morgana subjects Gwen to some very effective torture, achieved with the use of excellent sound डिज़ाइन and shadow play. Director Ashley Way throws every trick in the book to torment her with blood curdling screams, shocks and scares that eventually give way to something even और cruel and psychological.
For the band of questing Knights, a simpler story plays out within some brilliant visuals. The stark differences in environment they encounter on their way to the Dark Tower are very appealing, with the dolorous plain surrounding their objective littered with the corpses of fallen Knights. We also enjoy some great shots of the Knights and Merlin riding out accompanied द्वारा surging, heroic music.
There is an easy camaraderie between the Knights and Gwen at the start that act as a nice counterpoint to the tense questing scenes that follow. Arthur is distracted and it is really Merlin that hand holds the Knights though this. His magical encounter in the forest is perplexing and leaves us wanting more, though it does provide the key to the अगला stage of the quest.
Morgana appears to be back on form with another plan, this time और nuanced than it initially appears. Relishing her game, the sorceress gets to do far और than just chew the scenery. She is subtle in her dealings with her prisoner as her cruelty fades into a sort of twisted kindness. There are further hints too of those two years of suffering in the dark, but she is holding onto that explanation for the moment.
Another solid episode, 'The Dark Tower' not only looks fantastic but also gives a long awaited opportunity for क्वीन Gwen to get out of Camelot. After five episodes fundamentally on the sidelines, she takes centre stage and goes though the emotional wringer in a thrilling performance from एंजल Coulby.

I'm opening up "The Game" to reader requests. If there's someplace आप want me to put our शिशु and make them do naughty things, PM me.
However, I have rules, of course:
1. It must be interesting.
2. It must be meaningful.
3. It must be within their "world." No A/Us will be considered for this one.
And don't forget, it needs to be a place for which one of the pair can leave a hint for the other to find. So Spontaneous Acts of Lust cannot be considered, sorry.
I am very particular, as most of आप already know, so I reserve the right to select the ones that appeal to me. If आप send me one and I do not use it, do not be offended. There's a chance I may yet get to it. If I don't, sorry.
I promise I will give credit where due, and if और than one person sends me the same idea, I will credit all names.
So get crackin'. If आप want more, आप gotta help me out!
प्यार आप all,
