User blog:Rod12/The Show's Version of Lancelot

Which the character of Sir Lancelot being such a famous character in Arthurian Mythology I sometimes wonder why the show as used Lancelot in such few Episodes over the shows entire history. Now mind you I'm not saying they should of made Lancelot a Series Regular but having him only appear in 6 Episodes out of the Shows Current Total of 52 Episodes its makes me wonder why you have not seen the character more in the show. The show chose a great actor in Santiago Cabrera to play Lancelot and every time he has appeared on the show he did a great job but overall I think you could of seen alot more of the character then simply having him appear in only one Episode Per Series not counting Series 4 where he appeared in 3 for the whole Series. If you look in each of the Episodes he appeared in Lancelot (episode) was his introduction to the show plain and simple, Lancelot and Guinevere was his return to show but also showing that the character of Lancelot had changed since we last saw him. The Coming of Arthur Part 2 was him coming to help and the introduction of Knights of the Round Table and The Darkest Hour was showing him as a true hero and friend to Merlin, Arthur Pendragon, and The Knights of the Round Table. As for Lancelot du Lac it was mainly a Episode shown Lancelot being used as a weapon to destroy Arthur Pendragon and Guinevere Pendragon Relationship. Now I think the Show has done a great job with the character of Lancelot because they have respected the legend of the character but at the same time created there own unique version which is great to see. But I do think they could have used Lancelot a little better then having him appear in only 6 Episodes of The Shows entire history. I mean they made Agravaine de Bois a Series Regular in Series 4 and I understand they wanted to see a villain within the walls of Camelot but did we real need to see him in all 13 Episodes of Series 4. One of the ways the show should of used Lancelot better was in a similar way of how they used Gwaine during Series 3. They could of had Santiago Cabrera appear in Four Episodes just like they did with Eoin Macken with the same type of Episode Stories. Overall I wondering what everyone thought of the shows verson of Lancelot and his overall use throughout the shows history.
