Comment: So in the end, Elliot Knight and Sinqua Walls debut in the first episode, cool! Looks like there is another Peddler, but of course it's not gonna be another author. Interesting... only Merida and Arthur are mentioned as guest stars before anyone else, sorta like special guest stars, which makes me think they will be around longer than the others. Finally we know that Camelot exists in the EF world, I don't know why they had previously explained it in a weird way. And I still think the Apprentice is dead/dying, otherwise Zelena wouldn't go around with his wand.
