 Long Live the Queen.
Long Live the Queen.
I was honestly okay with the ending. Given the state of the world and perhaps the limitations of what can be fed to and received 의해 the audience at this time. What a tear-jerker. Honestly... I feel like writers, in their humanity, found themselves in too deep. Like to be able to write something so epic and ecstatic as what was to come when Magic flowed freely in Camelot.... was too much for the writers to handle 또는 too much for the audience at this time to "handle" 또는 both.

In addition, I think the actors were done. The interviews with the actors always speak of 5 seasons, 5 years, nobody as far as I knew confirmed a 6th season. Bradley James stated openly at the end he had been unhappy with the development (or lack thereof) his character and Gwen's and I think for good reasons. As diplomatic, polite, and classy as 앤젤 has always been I could even see her going through the motions describing the unfortunately one dimensional state of her character for promotions toward the end. 또는 perhaps these are my personal feelings of frustration showing in my perception: I see so much 더 많이 in Angel's Guinevere than perhaps was possible to publicly articulate for the masses (some awake, many not) at the time.

"Servant Gwen--->Queen Guinevere" was far 더 많이 powerful as a Symbol than what the actress herself actually got to work with 일 to day, her screen time being so limited. At least in what I have watched of Bradley and Angel, they both seemed ready to 옮기기 on. In contrast to the issue of her limited screen time, as a Symbol, the attention to detail given to her character was huge-- her deeply personal relationship with each of the Knights of Arthur's round table... having worked in Sir Leon's household as a child, sibling of Elyan, etc.... that gave each knight deeply personal reason to fight for her and protect her until the end, her social status arc, going essentially form 0mph to 100mph, servant to 퀸 in one lifetime, her personality arc, going from bumbling and unconfident to regal and the epitome of self-realization... in just a few years. In contrast, Arthur the character seemed to make the same mistakes over and over and over again for much of the 5 seasons until the end and stay in the same dim mindset that so much of the plot stagnated around.

Symbolically it was well expressed 의해 the series, that it was 퀸 Guinevere, a black woman, who would bring peace and freedom to Be to Camelot... upon Arthur's ascent beyond this Earth. In current society, there are few demographics that is 더 많이 collectively oppressed than black women (apologies for the American-centric nature of that statistic... I imagine it is true in the UK too...) And her solitary sovereign reign throughout Camelot (metaphorical for heaven-on-earth, I believe) represents the prophesy for the future where one 일 the world "will be turned upside down" and the most oppressed will be revealed as having always been the most powerful of them All. 앤젤 Coulby as 퀸 Guinevere succeeding Arthur's 왕좌, 왕위 as the sole sovereign, she in and of herself is a symbol of the merging of the 5D and the 3D.. As above, So below.

I can only imagine that 1. the writers were overwhelmed at the idea of depicting that in a way that could be understood 의해 the masses and 2. the collective audience, with that particular faction being so vocal about their hatred of the idea of a Black 퀸 who simultaneously contains both the energetics of the common folk and the One True Goddess Energy herself... the target audience became in direct discord with the message at this time. And this is why I believe in the ending as it was. As much as it does annoy me as well, that Aithusa's story got dropped like a rock into a pond, among other things.

    Arthur strides proudly down the corridor and takes a left turn where a figure is hiding in the shadows, underneath the alcove. Arthur nears the figure and stops. The morning sun was beginning to creep inside the corridor. He adjusts his brown riding coat.

    “Step out, Jerome.”

    The figure steps out and Jerome reveals himself, hugging himself with his cloak. He bows to Arthur but looks uneasy to be in the presence of the prince. Arthur seems relaxed, like he always does. Jerome looks around him.

    “Relax,...

    “Maybe we should send Tristan and Balinor to Medethenor to find out the news of their ailing king. I haven’t heard from them for a long time. I could use their allegiance during difficult times and if not, their friendship. It’s worrying not to hear from them all this while,” Uther says, forking his carrots.

    Opposite him, his wife, 퀸 Katrina Pendragon, nods, sipping her wine. “That must be done immediately Uther. King Galicka and his wife are some of Camelot’s finest allies and 프렌즈 too. If something is wrong with them, we...
