It took me w hile to recognise Nimue, but not from Bionic Woman, which I've never seen. I had actually seen her in 100's of East Ender eps, but she was a teenager then, thinner and more leggy. She's a beauty though, with stunning eyes.
I'm sensing you like Morgana, yes? ;-)
BTW, you mention you think she arrived in the first ep, she's actually been Uther's ward since she was 10 or 12 (can't recall which). I think she and Arthur pretty much grew up together, which is probably when she beat him at sword fighting.
I thought I was ready for Arthur to learn Merlin's secret in this ep, but upon reflection I agree with you. Arthur's not ready, it would just put him in a bad position with his Dad. I think Arthur needs to learn the secret of his conception, and of course the fact that his father was quite happy to use magic for his own selfish purposes, and the last 20 years of setting fire to sorcerers is just a really long dummy-spit because his deal went sour.
I really like the show, flaws and all. In truth I've never seen a truly perfect show, and a few minor flaws don't bug me that much. I agree about BSG too - I only made it through the first season - it was so depressing!

Nice recap!
