I just got a feeling that is who he's going to turn out to be when I saw the scene with Merlin saying he was sorry he wasn't around to guide Arthur, and something about him being like a son to him.

- Am I the only one who thought Emma was awsome when she snapped at Nimue DO and said she was never nothing and that she didn't need the darkness? Go Emma!

- I'm happy to see some greek mythology, although I think there should have been ambrosia in the holy grail. That would have made a lot of sense.

- I liked it that Nimue became dark by her own doing, and not because the ink blot was tethered to her, but I am confused now. What exactly is the darkness? Where did it come from? Why did one murder make her turn into the green imbodiment of pure evil? I thought it was originally a free floating inky blot of pure evil that was terrorizing everyone and threatening to destroy the realms until Merlin tethered it to a human soul.

- I stil love Merlin's theme music. I wish they would play it more. Regarding points 1, 3, and 4, in that order (points 2 and 5 I agree and have nothing to add):

- The Young Apprentice and Young Arthur were protrayed by different actors, but they were about the same age, so, no they are not the same person.

- Maybe the liquid in the grail was necter, the drink of the gods.

- Yeah, the darkness thing is getting confusing. What is the point of the vault, and where did that come from? Ah, thanks. Necter.

Interesting fact, those who drank the necter would have ichor in their veins instead of blood. It was gold in color https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichor. That could be what gave most of the dark ones their golden-ish skin.
