Arthur: Why cant they be both Uther: Because we rule the people, not the other way round.You do realise your wife is a troll, Sire Uther is bewitched into marrying a troll.
There really isnt enough story material here to justify two episodes. There isnt really enough material for two reviews, which is why Ive decided to review both in one go. They are geared more towards the youngest members of the audience and as a result the humour tends to be very broad and juvenile. A lot of fart joke. An almost ridiculous amount of fart jokes. Even though this is a comedy episode, you get the sense that, because this is a two-parter, the writers still want Catrina and Jonas to be seen as a serious threat. But any attempt at real drama is undermined by all the comedy. As the troll and her servant, Sarah Parish and Adam Godley let go of all restraint and really chow down on the scenery. They mustve been having a competition to see who could ham it up the most. Her performance as the TrollLady Catrina make her Empress of the Racnoss look like something out of a Ken Loach drama. The last ten minutes, as Merlin struggled to escape and stop Uther from marrying Catrina, were actually rather exciting. Instead, Merlin failed and so we had to endure another episode of fart gags and hammy acting. Arthur finally stands up to his father, in public no less, to defend the people from the brutal new tax laws. Its great to see all Arthurs character development in The Once and Future Queen hasnt gone to waste. But once Catrina is exposed, the whole thing descends into pantomine as the entire court just goes along with it and puts up with the smell because they dont want to upset the still besotted king. This situation has become so ridiculous that Gaius and Merlins bonkers plan to break Catrinas hold on Uther (step one; kill Arthur) actually seems rather sensible by comparison. ![]() Familiar Faces Sarah Parish (the TrollLady Catrina) is best known for starring in Cutting It, Mistresses and Doctor Who. Adam Godley (Jonas) has appeared on the likes of Dollhouse, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Breaking Bad and Mad Men. While Parish and Godley ham it up to 11, he plays it straight, even when hopelessly under Catrinas spell, and ends up being funnier than both of them. Love Arthurs eye rolling at his father being so in love. Foolish Merlin. Dont trust the bad guys minion. It is obvious he is leading you into a trap. Merlin and Gaius are really lazy. They couldve at least put Arthur in his bed rather than just leave him on the floor. Merlin: Dont you think its odd how quickly theyve become close Arthur: Theres nothing odd about that. Lady Catrina: I hate being like this. So clean. Its revolting. I cant keep it up. This skin, this face.
