That is the first time ever they've used that phraze on the show and yet the entire episode acts like we (the viewers) are supposed to know about this "Guardian" thing as though it's been explained before. Was it really too much trouble for them to include a scene where this whole "Guardian" business is explained to us (the viewers)?

I know that in season 5 Merlin mentioned to Emma that someday there might be someone who is able of taking on the power of the Dark One without giving in to the evil, but he NEVER refered to this person as the "Guardian". I think that would be who Merlin would have been refering to, at least if they wanted to keep continuity. Just because Merlin didn't give the person a name (which is actually more of a title anyway), isn't nessisarily a bad thing.
