Honestly, I was so disappointed in this, I nearly screamed. I am a huge fan of HE's 'Merlin,' and when I found how they completely butchered the characters and story lines, I wanted to tear my hair out.
Take the Lady of the Lake for example. In 'Merlin,' she was a graceful, blonde goddess who watched over her lake and the waters of Britain. No more. Now they've stuck her with a strange voice and black hair. Do they think she is Mab (from 'Merlin')? She is obviously not. She and Mab had the entire Ying/Yang effect, and now it's like she's been pulled over to the Dark Side. May the force be with you, Lady, and give you back your old hairstyle.
And the Lady being Jack's mother? It was a pointless, idiotic thing to do, especially since Merlin is her father. It was just a plot device that must somehow been meant to trigger a serious plot point... But it didn't. It was stupid and unnecessary. Why couldn't Jack have been Merlin's son with Nimue, huh? And I thought Merlin specifically stated at the end of 'Merlin,' after making Nimue and himself young again, that it was the end of magic, and that there was NO MORE. In this, we find both Jack and him doing magic in CAMELOT, which is a Christian community, and thinks of magic as BLASPHEMY.
Ugh. This wasn't worth watching. I demand my twenty dollars back.
