With each new season, there are more and more shirtless guys!) First a half-naked Lancelot, then a half-naked Gwaine, now Percival has been stripped) And all thanks to the efforts of one wonderful lady) And the sponsor of debauchery in the series for children and teenagers is Lady Morgana! Lady Morgana - more knights, less clothes!

@AlinBluberry: Don't forget that in the very first episode there was a half-naked Merlin, who was brought to this state indirectly thanks to Arthur. So the debauchery in the series for children and teenagers was only continued and developed by Morgan.
:z
(well, Arthur himself doesn't like shirts very much either, don't forget that)

@LordGregory: Besides the fact that Arthur doesn't like shirts, he's been without pants a few more times. Either by his own free will, or thanks to Merlin. So Merlin brings more debauchery to the series. Plus, it always seems to me, after season 4, that Percival looks at everyone as if he's trying to seduce them. It doesn't matter who it is: either Gwaine or Elian. And the only girl he looked at like that was Lamia.

Here you go, hello. The main thing is that Mordred has matured by 7-8 years, but Merlin and Arthur are still the same 20-year-old goldfinches. Either Mordred is growing up fast and it's only been a year or two since we last met, or I'm not sure what's going on.

In the first episode of almost every season, they always say that a year has passed since the events of the last season's finale, at the beginning of the fifth - three years, plus it is unknown how much time passes while the seasons themselves last, then it turns out to be 7-8 years, but with the eternally young Merlin and Arthur, everything is clear - It's magic!) Or they use a new cream from Nivea.

I immediately guessed that it was Mordred when I saw him in Merlin's vision. Although he really has matured a lot.
I was upset that the white dragon had become Morgana's pet (

Morgana turned into some kind of Snow Queen riding a sled with a wolf team. And now we know all about Daavos Seaworth's past. I wonder what Stannis will say when he finds out that the onion knight used to serve Lady Morgana. x)

It's a good thing that Sifa was declassified so quickly, and not like with Agravain, Arthur's uncle. Somehow, it was immediately clear that this maid was not as simple as she seemed.

Damn, I was just wondering right now: if Mordred is in league with Morgana (as he was from the very beginning), why hasn't he told her who Emrys is yet?..He always knew!

Most likely, because he knew from the very beginning that he would be destined to kill Arthur, and Merlin (Emrys) - Morgan. He just shouldn't disrupt the order of things.

The million-dollar question is: why focus so much on the fact that a girl's face is furry when meeting Arthur and Morgana?
And the guy has a clean-shaven face.

No, well, I have fluff too, but:
a) it's not that long
. b) if you highlight it with this kind of background light, the attention is VERY focused.

But maybe that's just my problem, because I'm a photographer.
But it's a shame for the actress and my sense of beauty.

@f__y__z: She is highlighted like this because she is an evil hero and the light comes from behind, but Arthur is kind and looks at him from the front, so you can't see how he is shaved.

1. Everyone writes about Davos, and I'll write about Sophie Rundle, aka Ada from the TV series "Peaky Blinders" - it's always nice to see familiar faces in other TV series 2. It's very easy to get out of this grid, I don't understand what the problem is 3. Arthur infuriates most of his attitude towards Merlin, but when he so he notices that Merlin is sitting alone somewhere, sad and goes to him - I'm ready to forgive him everything)

Here it is, the irony of fate. Gwen suffered more than once from the king's decrees, lost her father, sat in a cell herself and waited for death, and now she is the queen and is sentencing to death...
