They just HAD to introduce Lancelot being all smitten with Guinevere, but that's alright I LOVED it. Especially that scene where he and Arthur are sitting together and Arthur asks if Lancelot thinks 'she' is beautiful (talking about Morgana) and Lancelot assumes they are talking about Gwen & says "Yes Sire, I do."
As long as they don't reintroduce him to make an overly angsty love triangle I'm fine with it.
The last scene with Merlin/Lance and the Griffin was really exciting too!
That is how it is between them in the King Arther books....so its not just BBC being retarded =P ...well they are cos they messed up the rest of the story to be origional, but its still cool
Can't wait :) Although, I can say I'm not as excited for this one, but I'm sure it'll be just awesome.
Arthur<3
ps. You guys have been mentioning that you've heard in other books/movies/tales/myths about the real storyline, and you've been mentioning where you get these facts from. Could you guys reply/contact with some titles? Because I'd really like to find out the real legend as well!
Actually, you could just google "Arthurian Legends". It's all there. And BTW, Lancelot's actually the paramour of Guinevere and Guinevere is actually Arthur's wife.
WOW!! and i thought Merlin and arthur were hot but Lancelot tops them both!!! with you on the whole Gwen marries Arther then betrays him and goes for Lancelot
it's in some videos and films and books i've read when we were doing it in year 6...but i don't know if there going to do it that way in the BBC version...
it's generally THE story of Camelot- Guineviere marries Arthur, who's usually a few years older, and meets Lancelot, already Arthur's bff, after that and falls in love with him. whoops. they love Arthur, but each other more, give in eventually, Camelot falls... EXCEPT the latest King Arthur movie ignored that. And Spamalot ignored that (well, duh, Spamalot). So odds are they're using the original myth and adaptations as more like guidelines. very loose guidelines.
The old Welsh-style Merlin (or Myrddin, as we was originally known)would have been better; a wild man of the forest who wouldn't have been frightened to do a spell just because Giles from fucking Buffy said so. Michelle Ryan is hot, so that's a plus.
Victor Meldrew looks likehe's visited the Mogoadon School for Acting on Autopilot.
ONG I LOVE MERLIN! I LOVE IT MORE THAN X FACTOR AND THAT SAYS A LOT LOL! Does any one know what time it is on this saturday? The time changes can some one write to me on my profile please telling me what time thank you! xxx
Lancelot is played by Isaac in Heroes.. AND HIS SOO FRICKIN HOTT!!!!! .. i wont be able to watch the show properly next week, il be just staring at him thorughout!! x
Has anyone else realised? In Arthurian Legend, Nimueh was the name of "The Lady of The Lake". She's an ally of Merlin who eventually gives Arthur the sword Excalibur.
(In the opening credits, you see a sword under water... or at the bottom of a lake. If that's Excalibur, then I can see a plot twist developing here. Maybe Nimueh isn't so evil after all...)
Yes, Nimueh does give Arthur Excalibur - but according to Arthurian legend, she is also the one to raise Lancelot as well as enchant Merlin to steal his powers and trap him. I definitely think there's a subplot developing here - I hope she becomes more the contradictory character of legend rather than some stereotypical witch.

I've given up on Merlin. I was so excited when the previews were showing but this series is a complete and utter travesty. It's not the fact that they havnt stuck to the original myth its the fact that none of it is believable. The CGI effects are something out of the 90's. They are in medieval England and they are calling eachother a "pratt". The acting is actually good though but come on you cant just throw will mellor and zoe from eastenders into it and hope it works. I'll stick to xfactor.
I think there actually trying to make the effects like the ones in Merlin 1998 or the Movie Excalibur (the ollllld one).
And how do you know that pratt isn't that old ... there were insults in medieval ages lol !!! It's not always the knightly speechs with huge tirades and all ... It's like our days ... people who speaks with a very good language and others with english that we can barely understand :x
What is not believable? Magic is unlievable, that doesn't make the original myth bad xD
Lancelot is SEXYYYYYYYYY haha

Not sure what you mean by "original myth". That would rule out, say, Tennyson, or TS White's interpretation.
They could use sub-Shakespearean dialogue or something but that grates really quickly on the ear.
I'll take this over the whiny karaoke shite on ITV anyway. Maybe you have to be gay to get that or something.
