Merlin: Season 2

2x03 The Nightmare Begins

Morgana-centric episode is always a plus, and Asa Butterfield steals the show with the few scenes he has as the little Mordred, the scene with his magic was just like one of Sia's videos. I thought that Merlin would have to use his magic to defend the village of the Druids and in this way reveal himself finally to Arthur, and he did use the magic but not in the way that would expose him. It is a bit disappointing that he is afraid to reveal his secret to Morgana, though he does try and support her. I wonder whether Merlin's magic would be finally known to others? Arthur's chastising Merlin for being attracted to Morgana is really funny, since he is entirely oblivious to what is really happening, and he is also attracted to a person from a different social class.

I was really looking forward to this episode as soon as I read the description, yet it was not so thrilling as I supposed it would be.

Good point re the parallel to Arthur's class-straddling: that hadn't popped into mind when he said that.

Rarely reading descriptions ahead of watching anything, and thus not having read this ones, I was positively impressed with this episode.
