I love Arthuriana but I really love BBC Merlin and the twist it's makes because it really pulls the concept of prophecy to new heights. Like a lot of people get mad because Merlin's destiny is that he is to see Arthur through becoming the once and future king and to unite the land of Albion, and this never happens... But at the same time Merlin isn't the only one with a Destiny because we have Mordred and Morgana and Arthur himself... At the same time Mordred's destiny is to unite with Morgana and to kill Arthur at the battle of Camlam... Morgana's destiny is to die by Merlin's hand, Arthur's destiny is to die by Mordred's hand... So yes Merlin has his destiny but that doesn't make his destiny everyone else's because at the end of the day, what happens when someone else's destiny comes before your own?

#bbc merlin #you known i thought this rewatch was gonna be my last kinda hurah for this fanfom but instead it has pulled me under like quicksand #i just finished mordreds episode and excalibur and ahhhhhhh the fact that they had Excalibur come right after mordred is so #the plot build of s1 is so fricken good and it doesnt really pick up like that again until s5 and ah their both such good seasons #like when it comes to the whole destiny shebackle characters like nimueh kilgharra morgause and iseldir are so important #including some others as well but especially kilgharra and iseldir are both so intriguing to me #this show has me in a chokehold #text post
