"Noooo!"
Well, that’s certainly a twist. SPOILER alert.
It’s now clear why we have the contrast between Gervase and Mordrin, with his crown and delusions of kingship, which he’s now finally shared with his close friend Brother Simon, seemingly the only knight who doesn’t think he’s a nutter… yet.
We have a lot of tension around Gervase and Julia travelling to a little island to be told by a monk whom the king is. There’s a mystery: Arthur knows. So why did Arthur not just tell them? And, of course, Gervase is still conditioned to kill Mordrin’s enemy.
I saw the twist coming halfway through: Gervase is the king, smuggled out as an infant. It makes sense, given the early hints about his destiny. This twist is quite ingenious, and very Arthurian. One episode to wrap up, though…
