Trailer Dissection of Merlin 212: The Fires of Idirsholas
So, to start with a technical side, I have been looking up the stuff in the commercial to see if they come from original legends. They do not.
Interestingly enough, though - while Medhir seems to be made up entirely, 'Idirsholas' could possibly have an Irish origin. Idir is a preposition meaning 'between', while 'sholas' means 'light', thought many phrases use it to mean 'life' as well. So, Idirsholas could possibly mean 'between lights', or at a stretch, 'between lives' - and maybe it's mean to mean both? I tried looking up Medhir, got nothing, and looked up 'me dhir' - me is a pronoun, but there is no dhir. Anyone have any clue, or is it just completely made up?
Also - anyone know if there's anything about undead knights or weird fires or whatever in Arthurian legend?
Anywho, Morgause is back, and all of Camelot is asleep - except Arthur and Merlin (and possibly Morgana). Merlin and Morgana are kinda easy - they're magic, so they're immune - and perhaps Arthur somehow fell under Merlin's protection, due to something involving proximity? A spell? Who knows.
Morgause seems to be willing to attack Morgana - or, those creepy knights aren't acting completely under Morgause's control. Hm...
Thoughts?
