Um Okay is that really it because some of those things We already knew. But I didn't know about Alexander Valhos (Mordred) had hair extensions during filming, due to the fact that he began with an ‘army buzz-cut’ that's interesting.

Woah, Alex was wearing extensions? I had no clue. And they should have done a commentary for 5x12 since it was their highest rated episode this series. Plus it was actually a good episode.

I actually did notice that they were playing the Arthur and Gwen theme for Arthur and Mordred in ep 9. I was like, "What?"

^Murphy probably told them to. He's such a damn baiter.

^ Indeed he is. I mean he told Katie that Morgause was her love interest. So really it shouldn't be a surprise.

Morgause was her sister. Wow, I'm surprised Million Mom isn't protesting Merlin of SyFY this year!

^ Yes I'm shocked to they do it all the time with Glee and everything else
