4x05 Sci-Fi review
Arthur needs to prove himself as King of Camelot – but starts going about it the wrong way…
A much और serious episode again, with very little humour at all, as Arthur begins to come to terms with the requirements placed upon him द्वारा being King. His progress isn’t helped द्वारा his uncle Agravaine’s agenda, which appears to be based on getting Arthur into as much trouble as possible in the hope that he won’t be able to get himself out of it, thereby leaving the सिंहासन free for Morgana. It would be good to know exactly what Agravaine thinks he’ll achieve with Morgana on the सिंहासन that he couldn’t when अभिनय effectively as Regent in the साल before Uther’s death, या in his position as advisor to the King as now…
Although Tony Head’s Uther may now be firmly part of the show’s past, the character still exerts a large influence. Lindsay Duncan’s opposing क्वीन hits the nail on the head when she compares one of the characters to Uther, and not in a complimentary way, while Arthur starts द्वारा trying to live up to his father’s reputation and eventually comes to realise that he needs to be his own man.
It’s quite surprising that the B-plot concerning Guinevere is resolved quite so quickly: there was plenty of scope there for that to fester for a bit, and प्रशंसकों of Gaius and the Dragon will be disappointed द्वारा their (lack of) input this week. But for those who have enjoyed watching this दिखाना mature into a new slant on the rise of King Arthur, this is a key week.
Verdict: A strong week for Bradley James as Arthur starts to become his own man. 7/10
