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?
