Board Thread:Rewatching "Merlin" - Season One/@comment-5102537-20130302204954/@comment-5102537-20130304134002

Never mind, Arthurlover7, you don't need to be here the very day of rewatching in order to discuss. We are all watching at home and then talk about the epsiodes later. So you can discuss whenever you want, even years later :-D  Just when you have the time and nerve.

I agree that Nimueh wanted to harm Uther first by destroying and weakening his kingdom. It seems, also in the following episodes, that she takes pleasure in hurting Uther, especially in "Excalibur".

On the other hand, she could have simply killed Arthur in Excalibur instead of summoning Tristan. Killing Arthur wouldn't have been a great problem for a sorcererss who can come and go whenever she wants. It's the James Bond-phenomenon: villains talk and talk and make complicated evil plans to kill Bond but by that give him enough time to cross their plans, instead of getting rid of him on the spot.

Nimueh was an interesting character, nevertheless a quite evil one who actually is responsible for the Great Purge, too.

I liked Merlin seemingly having a crush on Gwen... or at least the fact that others thought he had.
