I hope the show doesn’t twist the legend further by having Guinevere and Arthur have children. They never do in any existing version of the myth and it’s a major symbolic sticking point. Arthur’s legacy isn’t in children - it’s in the immortality he achieves by going to Avalon with Morgan(a) and in the great deeds he’s done as King. Mode Note: Painting, “The Sleep of King Arthur in Avalon”, by Edward Burne-Jones (1898).
