A picture of the laugh!!! I love those. :D

[gealach_ros]

You mean Bradley, right? Gawd, I love when he laughs. :D

[moonlitpines]

Yes, yes. Of course, Bradley! All the heart eyes right now!

[jelazakazone]

Oooh, I love that guy. I mean, his costume looks so interesting. I'm not even going to speculate.

[gealach_ros]

The costume is so cool! I love the leather thingy with the gold applications. And I find that helmet rather endearing. :D

[jelazakazone]

Yeah. Exactly. The leather thingy. :D

[kathyh]

Always so good to see Bradley's laugh.

Hm...intriguing new character. The helmet looks vaguely Eastern in inspiration and that ginormous belt buckle thingy looks a bit like that too but that may just be coincidence.

[gealach_ros]

Bradley's laugh = ♥

The helmet looks vaguely Eastern
A bit oriental but with (this) Eoin's Irish colouring he's probably not meant to be from the orient? He seems to belong to a party of people coming to Camelot. I spotted two or three others with similar looking costumes in other pics, one slightly older actor could be the leader of the group, maybe (this) Eoin's father?

[moonlitpines]

I wonder if they're meant to be Vikings or Normans? http://www.historicalclothingrealm.com/ah6732.html Kind of vaguely reminiscent of what he's wearing there.

Do I remember a vaguely spoilery tidbit about maybe this season dealing with norman invaders or something and that being how Arthur unites Albion? I can't remember if I read that or just hoped it. LOL

[gealach_ros]

It were Saxons some extras (and a Scottish actor on Twitter) mentioned playing in the series premiere double episodes. Apparently Saxon helmets don't look all that different from the one he's wearing. Cool! :D

When I first heard Midnight blue I thought of Eva Green in the Midnight Poison ad:

[gealach_ros]

Yes, please!!! That'd be a great colour on Katie! And suit her far better than plain black (IMO). I'm really looking forward to seeing pics of her costume(s).

[gealach_ros]

You're right it's pretty much the same helmet. They do like to recycle costumes. :D

[gealach_ros]

I have no idea, somehow I hope he's from somewhere else, I want to know more about all the kingdoms Arthur's going to unite to Albion.
