When little shows grow up...

Caught up on Merlin at least and my, this little goofy show seems a lot more mature and darker this Season. They even updated the titles from "destiny rests in the ends of a boy" to "man". Not that I mind, quite the opposite.

This new somber tone to the characters appears to have the pleasant side effect of getting rid of the more obnoxious "comedy" moments that troubled the Arthur/Merlin interaction the last two Seasons - like the stupid throwing stuff. In what I've seen so far, there were some splendid moments between the characters, though nearly everything was underlined with sadness. Sniffle. The last few bits of episode 3, knowing what we know, ouch.

In a way, I still miss the good old days of Season 1 with all the happy friendship and bromance but it makes sense the characters (and show) have lost that innocence. Hopefully, they can keep this vibe up.
