New Merlin on BBC

they'll be back...
Morgana would work much better as a recurring villain anyways, there are plenty of episodes in which she bearly appears.
anyways I agree, the dragon CGI does seem to have improved, it could be it was improve for the finale, we got to see a few new angles to the dragon tonight which was nice.
I do wonder what will happen to the Dragon in S3, is it really going to end with the dragon being chained up again? and if so why would it help Merlin? that said it can be a bit of crutch for the show at times, if Merlin or Gauis dont know what to do, Merlin just asks the Dragon, best let Merlin grow and figure things out for himself.

My guess... It's his destiny. That and he wants Uther dead more than anything else...
I'm really glad you said that, she definitely looked different tonight, way hotter than usual...It might have been something as simple as a change in eye makeup!
Anyway fantastic episode, I really didn't expect Merlin to do that! I am surprised that Morguese doesn't realise he's magical, I'm guessing they can't smell there own. Great interplay between Merlin and Arthur as usual, especially loved Merlin suggesting they dress Uther as a woman
The dragon definitely looks better. Is it just me or have there been fewer cg beasties this year? Maybe they've funelled most of the budget into the dragon??
Can't beleive there's only one episode left!
Brilliant episode this week, I was very impressed - OK, I'll grant the knights were more than a little derivative, but an imposing enemy nonetheless, and always nice to see Emilia Fox, although I was less impressed with her dress sense this time round
The Morgana angle was a great bit of storytelling, I'm glad they followed through on it, and can't wait till next week!

I finally got around to watching the Real Merlin and Arthur special, with Bradley James and Colin Morgan driving around Wales, talking to Arthurian experts, visiting Arthurian sites, looking for Arthurian relics.
I was amused to note that I own one of the books Colin was reading at the beginning of the special, Ronan Coghlan's The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Arthurian Legends.
Overall, it was an entertaining half-hour. There wasn't anything revelatory; anyone with a decent background in the historical and mythical Arthur probably knows most everything that gets talked about -- Gildas, Geoffrey of Monmouth, Sir Thomas Malory, Caerleon, Camlann.
Really, it's more of an excuse to show the two guys on a road trip. In that regard, it's like an episode of Road Rules: Wales. Only without the RVs and really hot women. Some of the scenery is fantastic, and they clearly had a good time.
I can't imagine why it took five hours to drive 150 miles north from Cardiff, though. Do roads just plain suck in Britain? That's a two, two and a half hour trip, max, on this side of the pond.
It was fun. Nothing taxing. Nothing revolutionary. Just two guys, a map, and a car.

They plain suck in Wales, north of Cardiff - you're not talking motorways, you're talking winding country roads up and down valleys for most of the route, probably some hair-raising cliffs without barriers, and sheep wandering into the road in front of you
Google maps estimates 4 and a half hours Cardiff-Bangor (ie the length of Wales through the middle) and I suspect that's fairly conservative. By contrast, Cardiff to London, about the same distance, 2 hours 40 mins.Mid Wales is not built for these new automajiggy things
Yeah, I thought the same thing. It could have just been that they had black eyeliner on to go with Mogause or they did her hair slightly different, but she did look hotter.
No, she definitely had a different look... and a lesbian subtext? Margana and Morgause are sisters, aren't they?
Half-sisters at the very least, per "Sins of the Father." The series has been keeping us in the dark about the identity of Morgana's mother, but they're both Gorlois' daughters. Wikipedia states that "which parent they share is unknown," but dialogue in "Sins" between Uther and Gaius regarding the sleeping bracelet indicates that their shared parent is Gorlois.
cleary I just have a dirty mind
lesbian incest. you filthy SOB.
it could be worse, not sure how but im sure ill think of a way it could be worse, this might be a good use for the internet, finding something that is worse than incestuous lesbians.
Well you know the saying... "Incest is best, it's a game the whole family can play."
