Merlin TV Series

[Emrys]

A topic to discuss BBC's Merlin, about a young Merlin and his life in Camelot with a young King Arthur. With the first episode of the new series having started last night, I wondered if anyone else watched it? I thought it was a great start to the series.

Please spoiler alert any spoilers.

[Sunny]

Oh yes! I saw the start of the fifth season! It was amazing! :DD I can't wait for the second episode X3

[Lara]

Ah yes, I thought you might be a merlin fan when you called your wolf "Emrys" I watched the first episode of the new season today, and though I thought it was pretty good *SPOILER ALERT* I'm still really, REALLY not sure what to think about that glowing alien thing 0_0 *END OF SPOILER*

[Emrys]

Haha, I wondered if anyone would notice, Hermia :L. I agree, *spoiler*I'm not sure what I think of it either, I was a bit surprised by it*spoiler end*. I am looking forward to the next episode, particularly to see *spoiler* what happens between Arthur and Mordred*spoiler end*.

[Lara]

Oh yes, *spoiler* Hopefully Merlin will be able to save Arthur in time, and maybe he'll even be able to kill Mordred. But how come Mordreds suddenly all grown up? I thought he was still a child the last time we saw him? *spoiler*

[Emrys]

The reason *spoiler* Mordred's grown up is because there's been a three year time skip, as well as not being in the show since series 2. So in the show, it's been five years since he was last seen. *spoiler ends*

*SPOILER* I agree that glowing thingy was a bit weird, but I am curious as to see what exactly it is and if it's good or evil or nuteral XD Or some weird thing that's like a good thing but you anger it it gets an angry face and such and just all weird XD*SPOILER* The trailer for this week's episode looks amazing! *3* And to anyone who hasn't seen Merlin, I suggest watching it online, it is very worth your time X3 Sorry if my blabbering doesn't make sense to you guys XD I don't make much sense to a lot of people, I just ramble on. XD

[Lara]

Oooooh, thanks for explaining that to me Emrys. I was a little confused hehe ^^

I haven't seen the trailer for this week Sunny, I'll watch it in a minute :3 I agree with you too, your *spoiler*strange glowy alien being neutral but then dangerous when it's angered*spoiler* theory is pretty much what I was thinking

[Emrys]

Well, this weeks episode was awesome! *spoiler* I did not see Mordred saving Arthur coming at all *spoiler ends* but it was a great twist. It'll be interesting to see how things go. Next weeks episode looks very good too, very much looking forward to it. What did you think of *spoiler* the explanation of what that alien thing was? *spoiler ends*

[Sunny]

*BIG SPOILER* I found Mordred saving Arthur a bit odd, in my opinion he has to have ulterior motives or something, as we saw in that vision in the first episode. But then again, we didn't see Mordred exactly do it, so...But we did see he seems to betray Arthur in the end*BIG SPOILER* And I agree, the next episode looks absolutely amazing! So looking forward to it! X3 *SPOILERISH* It's like Paranormal Activity crossed with Merlin! XD (Never seen Paranormal Activity, so dun know if it's anythin' like teh next ep XD) *SPOILERISH*

[Emrys]

So, what are you guys thinking of the series so far? *SPOILER*What's happening with Gwen is really interesting, I wonder if she's doing it because of one of Morgana's spells, or if it might be something to do with Elyan's death.*SPOILER ENDS*

[Sunny]

Well *SPOILER* I think it's not exactly a spell of sorts, but influenced by a spell. I think it might be the thing with those weird screaming roots that make you hallucinate. She had those visions that everyone was laughing at her and such, and Morgana's initial plan was to get Gwen to trust her. So Gwen was in there for about 2-3 days? So I think she must've broken down after a bit and it would've just gotten to her head.*SPOILER ENDS* But, it's just a theory.

[Emrys]

I agree with what you're saying, *SPOILER* the hallucinations definetly had something to do with it. I do think that Elyan's death might've been a contributing factor, but I definetly think that it has more to do with what happened to her in the Dark Tower*SPOILER ENDS*

In other news, it was announced that Merlin has been axed. There will be a two part series finale at Christmas that will wrap everything up, and that's it.

Well then. It'll be interesting to see how it all ends.

[Sunny]

I heard that Merlin was axed a few minutes ago. ;~; One of the most depressing news of my childhood. Since Merlin is now gunna go, the only thing worth watchin' for me is gunna be Sherlock, not that DW isn't...all that good in my opinion

Anyway, I'm REALLY looking forward to next episode! X3 What do you think will happen? Will Gwen stay under Morgana's grasp or will she go back to Arthur? :3

[Emrys]

Well, both the shows I love watching have huge gaps between series. I'm going to miss Merlin so much. :'(

I really don't know, *SPOILER*I think it would be an interesting ending to the series if Gwen and Morgana have something to do with Arthur's downfall, along with Mordred. However, I think it will be more likely that she'll go back to Arthur in the end.*SPOILER ENDS* If the BBC would like to prove me wrong, I'd love a nice plot twist to end the series.
