Oh God... I really, really hope they don't make Freya the Lady of the Lake. I was really excited when I saw the title, and though it would be more canonical (well, as canonical as legends can be) Arthurian stuff, but no, it was just a totally random name to throw us all off. The Lady of the Lake isn't supposed to even be a druid, never mind someone as insignificant as Freya. :(
Up until now I've been one of the 'oh get over yourself, they're legends!' people, and it really annoys me when people jump all over the place because the show likes to play with the legends. But with Vivienne, Igraine etc. being introduced, they could do so much and so far they've disappointed me a bit. I'm hoping tonight's episode will turn that around, because other than that I actually quite enjoyed this episode.
Anyway, yeah, good review, you made some interesting points -- and it always makes me happy to see an objective writer, especially if you're a Merlin/Arthur shipper. X3 I'm a slasher as much as the next fan, but since it's never going to be canon (thankfully, because that would just... suck), I like enjoying the rest of the show for what it is.
