I have such a love/hate relationship with this show, cause I'm addicted, yet I often forget it's a show aimed at kids & always complaining how episode could be darker or this plot could be expanded, etc...I'd love to see a more "grown up" version at some point.

This looks like it's going to be a really good season. I'm a little sorry that Morgana has turned full blown evil, but the BBC doesn't play around. Their shows tend not to last as long as ours, so I guess it's just as well her story has progressed. I liked the good old days when the four main characters were still friends though. I'm sorry that Morgana's sister died. I liked her.

you want me to keep adding them?

This may be my favorite episode ever. I don't want to discuss specifics til you've watched though. Speaking of darker and more grown up, the show had really changed tone.

This was another good episode. Morgana is on Merlin's trail now. Love it when the dragon makes an appearance. I have to laugh at how often Arthur ends up knocked out or unconscious. tongue.png I guess the spirit world will spit Lancelot out at some point. He can't stay dead.

I was surprised at what happened with Lancelot because I just assumed all the knights were now regulars on the show. And he has story requirements to fulfill. It sort of made sense though because as the noblest bravest of them all it would fall to him to save everybody.

Arthur has to get knocked out every episode so Merlin can do his tricks, laugh.png . I just wish the show would move on and allow Merlin to go public, but I guess that will be the last episode of the entire series.

Me too. I was like, you can't kill of Lancelot, he's a central character. I expect him to be back somehow as well.

I wish they'd expose Merlin's secret as well. At first, that's what drew me into the show, but now, 4 seasons later it's gotten stale & makes the other characters come off as stupid they haven't figured it out it. I think it's holding the show back, so many more stories you can do once Merlin is exposed.

    • I am so happy now. Reminds me of the 80s show I loved. Ron really did the cast and fans dirty. The only people complaining are those who only knew Ron and his whiplash plot driven stories 
    • 1985/86 wrapped up during the weeks of May 12-18, 1986 and May 19-25, 1986. Here's how the sophomore slaughterer, sophomore surprise, and the four soaps wrapped up the season.

    • @soapfan770 1995/96 to 1999/2000 were not very good in primetime. CBS and ABC both had primetime mess eras, and that's how NBC got away with their Thursday garbage shows finishing in the Top 10. Remember too that ABC was sold to Disney in 1996.  As for ABC primetime mess era, it started with the Top 10 fallout of Roseanne and ended with the breakout success of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Monday Night Football and Home Improvement pretty much kept ABC alive in that era.
    • This show is miles better under the new writers. It's really a condemnation of Carlivati, because he had the characters and history to write good soap. Instead, he turned it into a joke and a farce. I've heard some people says DAYS is now "too talky." Miss me with that stupid analysis.
    • I always wondered if Jackie wasn't going to be recast after being persumed dead... if Marland was going to pair Evie and Justin as a couple reunited in grief over Jackie's death. The one consistent thing I noticed about Evie during those months she was still on the show was that she was kind of a second mother to Phillip after Jackie's 'death' and Elizabeth no longer on the canvas.   But then one of the three interim writer teams decided to pair up Helena with Justin.. which left Evie even less to do than she had at the start of 1983. You're right that Evie was a unique character on the soap.  She was sweet and trusting, yet she had a quiet strength that made it difficult to push her around (at least when the Dobson's were writing her).  The Ben/Amanda/Eve triangle was an interesting triangle because neither of the women were evil... and Ben did have chemistry and a connection with both women.   It had a pretty decent run from 1978/9 to 1982 before Amanda was spun off into her mother's new marriage to Mark as the other woman.
    • Lots of fast-forwarding in today's episode. The best parts were the Lulu and Tracy scenes and Chase in the tank top. And once again, a horrible cliffhanger with Sonny.
