5.07 - A Lesson in Vengeance: Radio Times Review

posted by missNST

Review by: Mark Braxton

We’ve known King Arthur to be pig-headed before, but his blindness to the truth has dire consequences this week as season five hits the halfway mark. After the blinkered royal falls from his mount during an ambush द्वारा brigands, he rounds on poor stablehand Tyr and accuses him of sabotage. Anyone who saw last week’s cheery chapter in the Dark Tower will know who’s really to blame, and even though Merlin turns detective to draw out the culprit, he’s soon fighting against time.

But Merlin’s amusingly crabby alter ego makes an overdue return, and the line “Keep yer grubby hands off my dumplings” is a surprise, so it’s not all doom and gloom.

About this programme

7/13. Morgana finds herself in a unique position of power, having a Camelot insider under her spell - and now the pair hatch a plot to murder the king. But when stable hand Tyr Seward becomes caught in the crossfire, he threatens to ruin everything. Can a suspicious Merlin unravel the truth before it is too late?

EvieFriday I really don't know how to feel about this episode. Angel will have lots of screen time to really show off her amazing acting skills but I don't want the 'Evil Gwen' plot line to go on too long because she had enough upset last series.

kbrand5333 Could be good. Please no ridiculous shenanigans with Dragoon, though. Please.

Bonne-Bell I have a feeling this is going to be played for laughs. Hence the return of Dragoon.

EPaws Me too May.

Bonne-Bell Oh, something I didn't pick up on when I read this earlier. Some people have been speculating if Gwen has been brainwashed or if she's under a spell and I think this reviewer has pretty much let the cat out of the bag with that last paragraph.

kbrand5333 Yeah, they never made it clear in the last episode that she was under a spell. I mean, we all know it here, but we hot the hook-ups.

MOPENDRAGON I hope it's a good epi, in spite of the enchantment...we shall see.

A New दिन Series: Born To It

Guinevere stood in the doorway of their shared chambers silently contemplating her husband. He stood staring blankly out the window, unaware of her observance. The young princess was considering the best way to approach and comfort him. Knowing him as she did, she was aware he would attempt to convince everyone, including her, that he was fine. But she knew better than most what it meant to lose a parent. She had endured both her mother’s death and that of her father.

No one was ever completely ready to say goodbye and Gwen knew Arthur was no exception to this. Yes his relationship with Uther...

Open Letter to the People that Run "Merlin"

To Whom it May Concern:

I have been watching “Merlin” since the beginning, and have enjoyed it immensely. It’s good entertainment, with a compelling cast of characters and it is honest fun, कल्पना escapism.

That being said, I am very disappointed in how King Arthur and क्वीन Guinevere’s marriage has been depicted this series.

As a bit of background, I have been happily married for fourteen years, so my टिप्पणियाँ come from experience, not speculation.

Thus far we’ve seen them interact one-on-one a total of three times, and all three scenes have been very short and without much depth.

We...
