Merlin - 5x01: Arthur's Bane - Part 1 Episode Discussion [Airs October 6th]



Camelot basks in the halcyon days of a new golden age.
But even as she flowers, so the dark seeds of her destruction are being sown...
For in the frozen wastelands of the north, men are disappearing without trace.

In search of answers, King Arthur and his knights must undertake a dangerous mission to the unknown.
As the sun sets on the icy plains, Merlin finds himself locked in a battle unlike any he has fought before; a battle with fate itself.

Merlin series 5 promo

Arthur's Bane - Part 1 airs on October 6th at 7.45pm on BBC One.


RULES:
No character or ship bashing.
Not everyone is going to agree with you, so please respect that.
Have fun and enjoy the episode.

It's on in a minute

Turning off my comp now so all my focus is on the TV

ETA:

What a great start to the new series!

First of all our boys are back and better than ever Merlin and Arthur were brilliant as always. I love that they know each other so well that Arthur knows straight away that something is troubling Merlin They fight side by side and are there for each other.

Queen Guinevere is magnificent She is so natural by Arthur's side as his Queen. They are equals and he listens to her council and takes her advice they are such a natural fit Queen Guinevere in court when Cefa was brought in was truely a ruler she acted as a true Queen of Camelot upholding the laws of the land and being strong and fierce. I wish we had gotten a departing scene with Arthur and Gwen

Already in the first episode there is betrayal and treason! I love it I would never have guessed that Guinevere's Lady's maid would be the one to betray the King that was a great twist.

Morgana is back and still as bad as ever I love her coat, but still in black I see I wonder what she will do when/if she finds the key and I wonder if that being that Gwaine found in the caves is the key?

I just have to say what a delight (even though unfortunate circumstances for Percival and Gwaine) to see them shirtless pretty much the whole episode

I am liking the new Mordred so far. Although I do miss Asa, his portrayal of Mordred will always be my favourite. I am interested to see what part Mordred plays in the new season.

I am loving S5 already

This was a really great opener.

Very suspenseful. Set the plot up early and didn't lag at all.

I'll be honest. I wasn't impressed with this episode at all. It just seemed like a rehash of the past 2 seasons, at least. Morgana's angry at the world. Merlin is agonizing over Arthur's impending death and keeping his magic secret. He and Arthur getting into ridiculous situations and insulting each other, and Arthur making very idiotic decisions - why would he continue on north to confront a powerful Morgana after losing his entire army is beyond me.

The one bright spot in the episode was Guinevere. She was smart. She was gentle, but fierce. She was beautfiul. She was everything I thought Queen Guinevere would be.

All the Merthur I love Merthur filled episodes since they are the only reason I watch. I love when they bicker like an old married couple.
