Camelot - The Sword And The Crown

The second part of the first night was a great episode of Camelot.  We got to meet Guinevere, the pulling of the Sword from The Stone and Arthur is crowned King.  But everything has a different spin to what we expect of the Arthurian Legends, and this makes this show a bit more watchable.
Arthur has been dreaming of a woman coming out of the water and then they make love.  One morning he is by the sea and the woman in his dreams emerges before him.  Only this time, she knocks him back on the sex.  The twist here is that she is betrothed to another man.  No not Lancelot, but Leontes, who proves to be Arthur's champion.  Arthur is entranced by Guinevere but will he betray his own knight? (So Arthur becomes the betrayer).
King Lot has managed to kill those close to Arthur and he needs something to rally the people behind him. Merlin has a little something set up from hundreds of years ago (just how old IS Merlin?).  If Arthur is the true king, he should be able to retrieve the ancient sword from that is embedded in the stone at the top of a waterfall.  No it is not Excalibur (another departure from the legends) but the Sword of Mars.  Of course he is able to remove the sword but not without falling and nearly killing himself!
Another solid episode, with a bit of flesh and some mystical works by Morgan in the woods where she summons a wolf to her, or is it something more sinister.  I hope this storyline builds in to something exciting.  Has she made a deal with the devil?
