Merlin

[quizzywig]

Been away over Christmas and New Year and have just caught up with Merlin.
Brilliant but sad! What will I do without my Autumn fix of Arthur, Merlin and Gwaine? Just have to watch the repeats, I suppose. I've said it before and I'll say it again - when the BBC tries, it can't be beaten.

agreed Quizzy, when they do it right, they do it well and blow my socks off.

must admit i thought it rather daft, it didn't really seem to fit in with the
Arthurian legends i grew up with, and i wasn't a big fan of Guinevere in the show, however i watched the last couple and was sad at the ending.

Unfortunately I missed the last two episodes. I'm really sad that it's ended, especially since I only discovered it half way through the final series. It did take real liberties with Arthurian myth (Merlin should have been much older than Merlin, Mordred should have been Arthur's illegitimate son, Guinevere's affair with Lancelot should have been the catalyst for the final battle, etc, etc), but it was a great piece of television none the less. And all those gorgeous men to drool over!

I know quizzy, I was sad to see it end too.
That said I do think some of the earlier episodes were the best. I've never been a fan of Sarah Parish but her role as Troll queen was just brilliant and so funny.
I agree kiki about the storylines and I didn't think Guinevere was right either, there was no chemistry between her and Arthur. The filming was amazing, especially the big crowd scenes, and I loved Richard Wilson as Gaius.
