When Merlin and Arthur find themselves vastly outnumbered in a tavern brawl, an enigmatic man helps them to victory. The stranger risks his life to protect the prince, and is seriously wounded in the process.
Arthur takes him back to Camelot, where he quickly sets about drinking, charming the ladies, and causing trouble for Merlin. But when what appear to be two unscrupulous Knights try to kill the Prince, can Merlin and the inscrutable stranger save the day?
Even though it started out just like an episode of Firefly, I liked the humour in this. I thought it was more subtle than the humour last week.
Uther was back to normal. Arthur: "My father is a stubborn man." No kidding! I think the "Uther Must Die!" Club needs to start letter writing.
I didn't quite get the amulet problem. Merlin: "What can we do?" Well, you could pull their chains off. I have a feeling that might work wonders when everyone realised they were imposters.
Next week "Mordana attempts to kill Uther." Hmm, what it the problem exactly? Bring it on, I say. I hope Merlin doesn't try to stop her.
