In this episode, the hosts discuss the third episode of the first season of Fringe, "The Mark of Nimueh". We get excited about Nick's great showing in Storybook Brawl, Charlie is an old man in his late twenties, we talk BBC actor overlap, how bad a boss Uther is, and yet still it's crazy that Uther killed all the dragons.
This week Chris and Jeremy covers Merlin S01E03 - The Mark of Nimueh, in which a secret witch poisons Camelot by sending a mud monster into the water supply. Once again Team Goth and The Other Guy (Morgana/Merlin and Arthur, respectively) have to save the day. Will Merlin get caught using his magic to roast the flame monster? Will someone pay Gwyn's dad a working wage? Find out in this week's episode of Still His Kingdom Keeps.

Episode three of @fortheloveofmerlinpodcast! Yes, we're still asking "why are you the way that you are?" We delve into the difficulties of keeping ilfe-or-death secrets in an echoey castle, especially when you insist on yelling about them. And contemplate why Merlin is seemingly the only servant in Camelot allowed to take care of Arthur.
Tael and Dawitt deal with the ramifications of their break in to the Blackhold Keep and learn exactly where they have been taken. Nimueh attempts to make her escape from the grounds while also scrambling to inform the group of what's happened, and the rest of the party tries to figure out what is going on while fearing the worst.
Website - Tumblr - Twitter In which Merlin is a bit of a brat, Arthur is inactive and Gaius is the worst physician in Camelot! Join us, as we discuss Season 1, Episode 3, The Mark of Nimueh #DestinyAndChicken
The party ventures into the pit left by the now fallen Temple of Veruna in search of answers. They meet some of the denizens that dwell below Deadcairn, and gather another piece to the puzzle involving the ancient artifact that sunk the Temple. (Note: There was an audio glitch with Nimueh's microphone in the last half of the episode that was caught too late. Her audio is quietly picked up on other mics, we apologize for the inconvenience.)
In today's episode, MissSnowfox and Momo are joined by Sara to talk about the female villains of the first series of Merlin. Join us for just under two hours to figure out what the difference between antagonists and villains are, whether Morgana is either one, and also how good (in quality) any of the female villains of Season 1 really were.

Join the ladies of Hype Podcast as we take a deep dive into Merlin 1×02 “Valiant” and 1×03 “The Mark of Nimueh.” Welcome to the second episode of our Merlin rewatch! If you’ve been following along on our weekly regular show, you’ll know taking a deep dive into BBC’s beloved Arthurian Legend series (just like we’ve done with Gilmore Girls and The 100 is something we’ve been wanting to do for awhile. As with our past rewatch specials, we want to remind you that despite the fact that Selina and Pam have both already seen the series in full, all of our episodes will be spoiler free! That means if you’re watching along for the first time with us, we we won’t be discussing anything that happens past the episode(s) we’re highlighting in each installment of our Merlin rewatch series. You can listen to our previous episode discussion, for the series pilot “The Dragon’s Call,” right here. 1×02 “Valiant”: – How did we feel about this episode when it first aired 10 (!) years ago? – How did it work as a follow-up to the premiere? – Legend vs show: Knight Valiant in Arthurian Legends – What a weird plan – The tournament is a lot of fun – Does Arthur train all his servants, or just Merlin? – Arthur seems willing to listen to servants when Uther is not – Even though he’s angry at being humiliated, Arthur believes Merlin the whole time, even heading into the final battle and presumably his death knowing that the shield is magic – Uther and Arthur’s ideas of what constitutes a ‘good’ knight are very different – Plot hole: couldn’t Gaius have just told Uther about the poison and confirmed it was magic? Since this is exactly what he does in the next episode… – Would Uther’s snobbery/pride/inability to admit his own mistakes actually overrule his obsessive quest to eradicate magic? Do we really believe he wouldn’t jump at any chance to catch a saucerer, especially since actual evidence exists that magic is involved? – Arthur and Morgana’s will they/won’t they is heating up – Morgana “saving” Arthur: a cute moment, but ‘saving’ is a bit of an overstatement, no? – Fun facts! – Favorite scenes – Favorite quotes 1×03 “The Mark of Nimueh” – Three episodes in – are we hooked? – This feels like a significant episode in terms of the series overall – Legend vs Show: Nimueh and the Afanc in Arthurian Legends – How does Nimueh work as a villain? – Does she have a past with Uther and Gaius? – We get more info on how magic works in the show: Gaius describes Nimueh magic as being “of the darkest kind,” says magic ‘corrupts’ but also that “it’s neither good nor bad. It’s how you use it.” – Merlin almost seems like he has withdrawal symptoms after being told he can’t use magic to help the victims – While Uther is clearly insane, he IS also trying to save his people – Angel Coulby is amazing in this episode – Guinvere gives Merlin AND Morgana flowers… – Everyone is convinced that Merlin is in love with Gwen. So is he? – Tom and Gwen’s relationship – Merlin tries to sacrifice himself for Gwen; Arthur stops Merlin from taking Gwen’s place – It’s hard to believe Arthur and Gwen can ever become ‘Arthur and Guinevere’ from the legends – Finally Morgana gets involved with the action (even if just to come along and scream, but it’s a start) – Morgana and Gwen’s friendship is established: Morgana has complete belief in Gwen’s innocence – Defeating the afanc with elemental magic = air and fire can defeat earth and water – Do the Merlin foursome correspond to the four elements? – TThe dragon says Merthur is “two sides of the same coin” – Arthur’s views on magic in this episode is surprisingly fair and sensible – Favorite scenes – Favorite lines We round off as always with listener feedback.

Cockatrice Enormous spiders that live in the caves in the forest of Balor. Don't like light.
