With this episode and The Disir I don't know what the show was trying to say about magic and the Old Religion. Nearly everything bad that happened to the characters in the show happened because of people who practiced the Old Religion. Nimueh seemed to take joy in the vengeance she was bringing to Uther's kingdom, and showed little regard for the lives of innocents. She goes full-on Vader on Merlin asking him to join her in ruling the world. The Pendragon dynasty continued, but was finally terminated by the ways of the Old Religion. And it's just painful to me that the show ended without exploring the rules and laws under which magic was to be practiced when Merlin and Arthur built the Golden Age of Albion.
