I had to forgo Merlin in favour of a trip out to the middle of the East Lothian countryside to have dinner with my grandparents (my grandfather had a stroke a few weeks ago and I haven't seen him since then, so yes, I intend to make you feel guilty about trying to make me feel guilty). XP I figured if there was one episode I could afford to miss on the first airing it was probably this one anyway. I still haven't seen it yet, but will look it up on iPlayer as soon as I've got back from walking the hyperactive German Spitz currently working himself into a froth in the hall. -_^

Sadly, that's pretty much what I expected. The episode summary and then the spoilers hardly filled me with hope. I knew Bradley would carry it but this was clearly a filler episode to get us into the last two episodes of the series. I'm mostly going to be watching this for the preview of the next episode. -_^
