You're right GLC, one day Gerda will be in front of the veil and the Cailleach will say : "My name is Cailleach, nice to meet you Gerda. I invited Daniel on the other side, would you want to join us for a cup of tea ? ." Seriously, I don't get your point. The Cailleach is not a random friend to meet, she's the keeper of the veil, she hasn't got to "start" a conversation, she delivers an oracle. She's just like a pythia in Ancient Greece.

A Servant of two Masters was a really funny episode. It made me laugh many times, but I wish Merlin was more evil, he was not at all. Obviously, the pr, oducers missed the chance to explore the real dark side of Merlin ; they didn't want to make him evil, even when he was. It's for me the big failure of this episode. Remember it's a family show, the heroes have to be irreproachable. It seems to me that we've got exactly the same failure in Lancelot du Lac ; the writers created the crapped enchantement twist so the characters of Gwen and Lancelot would remain intouchable. Nevertheless, the duel was awesome, one of the best, and the confontation between Arthur and Gwen, exceptionnally acted.

The Sword in the Stone was just a copy of The Coming of Arthur. Quite sad for a final.

You're right about the so many cast members ; it would be more interesting to be focused, all along the series 5, on three or four real threats.
