Hopefully the others will be given more to do in the upcoming episode other than wave swords around and make the odd comment.
Lancelot, on the other hand, dispenses advice to Merlin and smiles knowingly whenever the wizard casts a spell. Of these, it’s Lancelot and Percival that get the most character development in this first episode, though Percival mainly spends his time showing off his arms in his rather fashionable, though impractical, sleeveless chainmail, and being all macho and heroic, even going so far as to single-handedly save three small children in his manly embrace. Thankfully, he’s not alone in his quest to protect those around him as we’ve got five more knights in tow in the form of Sir Percival (Tom Hopper), Sir Leon (Rupert Young), Sir Gwaine (Eoin Macken), Sir Elyan (Adetomiwa Edun) and Sir Lancelot (Santiago Cabrera.)
Such trivial concerns aren’t going to be enough to stop our favourite wizard from protecting Arthur and Camelot, even if it may mean sacrificing himself. It’s not all about his dubious track record as a servant, though, as he suffers the effects of the tear between worlds and loses faith in his own abilities, powerless against the creatures that pour fourth from the tear ghostly, flying skeletons that drain the life from anything they touch. He’s on friendly terms with all the knights of Camelot, particularly Lancelot. He collects shirts, writes speeches and generally gets under everyone’s feet whilst being clumsy as ever. Throughout the tumultuous changes, Merlin (played by Colin Morgan with his rather fantastic English accent) is still the ever faithful servant to Arthur. That said, Arthur is happy to have his uncle around as the weight of leadership weighs heavy on his youthful, broad shoulders. Now aided by his uncle, Agravaine, Arthur (Bradley James) is settling into his role as leader and has the faith of the kingdom and his knights.Īgravaine has become the trusted counsel of Arthur and has been a rock to the young prince: though he does dress in black, giving us a hint to where his allegiance will be.
Whilst Morgana is evilly plotting and still speaking rarely, Arthur has taken over the kingdom and his father, Uther, sits as a broken man, destroyed by the betrayal of his ward.
