Go figure

Of course the week after I've sworn off writing weekly Merlin reviews comes an episode which was, unquestionably, no doubts about it, good and makes me want to write about it. But I shall resist temptation and wait till the finale for the collective review, because that way, I now know for sure I can include some praise in it.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the reason this season has been weak is that the writers are just killing time before the big finish. I agree that this week's episode was a lot better than ... well, pretty much everything else this year.

Well, I also loved the Mithian episode, but other than that, yes. Here is hoping for a really good finale!

Yes, I enjoyed that too. (I liked it more on a rewatch - I think the first time I saw it I was still feeling bitter that they wasted Tony Head's presumably last appearance in the show AND a great concept on The Death Song of Uther Pendragon.)

Whatever happens in the finale, I'll look back on the show with a great deal of fondness. And it has to be worth seeing just for the look Authur's face when the big reveal happens ...
