Sorry but after the events of season 4 I am not sure why Merlin is still a servant. Im only three episodes into my season 5 rewatch and im highly irritated. Not because Merlin isn't getting credit but the shere amount of disrespect he has to put up with and yes I know Arthur doesn't know about Merlin’s magic and all he has done but Merlin has proven himself more than a servant time and time again (Always rescuing Arthur, pointing Agravaine as the traitor, ect.) I mean he is a part of the round table ! What adds fuel to the fire is Arthur making Mordred a knight? Like wtf? Im not saying make Merlin a knight, but can he not get a better position? Arthur had already broken from tradition surely elevating Merlin even a little could have went a long way and I know from a writing perspective this allows things to be at the status quo but in universe it just shows how under appreciated Merlin truly is and frustrated me to no end!

Long story short, I was recommended this series, and so far I've been really liking it especially watching while I do homework. But I was fully under the impression that Arthur would find out about Merlin's magic somewhere in late s1, and was hoping for the two to get up to cool magic antics later. When I asked though, the last episode was spoiled for me. Then that scene was shown to me 😅 I'm not sure I want to continue, knowing the moment I was waiting for isn't even there. Does anything interesting happen in the later seasons worth looking forward to?

Agravaine is Arthur's mother's brother, right? I wonder if Arthur asked him about his mother. I don't remember a conversation like that in the show.

What's your favourite episode?

Edit: Also, songs that remind you of Merthur? Interested to listen!

This episode found me at the perfect time. Having a terrible day but Gaius's speech about the future in "The Witch's Quickening" somehow helped.

One of his best moments in the show.

Basically what the title says.

I watched the show on it's first run and have started and stopped and finished it so many times since that, but this is the first time I actually though twice about this...

in S4 E3 *The Wicked Day* Morgana give Agravaine a pendant that will revert every healing spell that is casted on the wearer...

Gauis finds the pendant and knows what it did.. Why the heck didn't he tell Arthur so he would have known that: 1. The Sorcerer did not mean any harm. 2. Someone in Camelot WHO HAS ACCESS TO THE KINGS COURTERS is working with/for Morgana.. Jesus this annoys me...

I just watched the first episode for the first time in my life, and I realized the series takes place in a more fictional land than I had thought.

Correct me if I'm wrong about the details, but there's the City of Camelot, located in Albion-which is in the "Land of Myth," a name I assume simply refers to Merlin's world? I know Albion is supposed to be an older name for the island of Britain. According to the series, Arthur is the one who will unite Albion; historically, if I recall correctly, it was a king named Alfred who united Britain.

Also, Camelot is supposed to be a castle in the legends, not a city.

I suppose what I want to know is whether the series takes place only in fictional locations. Did the writers try to create a new world based on these legends?

And I'm not asking this in a negative way-just to clarify. One of the things I love most about fantasy is world-building.

I really want to re-watch merlin but I'm not able to find it on any streaming services and was just trying to find some site maybe that it's available on.

His all grown up, new series just spotted on iplayer

Guys I LOVE Mergana sm
They’re my Roman Empire
My what could’ve been
Are there any fanfics ygs know?

As title, when you're rewatching the series for the nth time, which episodes can you just not watch? And why? If any?

For me it's The Beginning of the End - knowing what Mordred becomes. And Lancelot Du Lac because I won't have Lancelot's legacy tarnished in that way.

Then frankly most of series 5 is pain and frustration, with The Drawing of the Dark especially hard to watch. I've watched the last episode several times but the full series only twice, I don't have the strength!

First post kinda nervous 😬😬. I want a show with the gayness of bbc merlin but lesbian. Anyone got anything?

This has been my favorite one so far! I love how she turned out; I think she really looks like Gwen.

Sorry for the delay—I actually created this Sim and her two classic outfits the same day I made Morgana, but I was busy with university exams until yesterday, so I couldn't get around to finishing her until today.

does anyone else feel like Arthur should have known about Merlin’s magic all along? like he figured it out in season one but wasn’t going to say anything. there’s all these little moments where he teases Merlin about having secrets or conveniently prevents Merlin being revealed or defends Merlin a little too quickly— to the point where on rewatch i wonder if this was the show writers’ intention at some point. i think it would have been a great moment if after years of agonizing Merlin told Arthur and he was like “Merlin, I’m not an idiot”

Feeling particularly ancient but also happily nostalgic because someone posted a reel about London MCM comic con (nee Expo) and how it used to be in ye good olde days and my Merlin cosplay from 2012 got a feature! 😂 my friends started sending it to me like '???' but alas it is indeed me, baby faced at 18 and cosplaying Merlin with my ex as Arthur. Even funnier to me is that time has gone full circle and I'm now cosplaying Merlin again in my 30s. How time flies!

I thought all the spoilers I’ve read in this subreddit prepared me enough to finish the series and get through the last 2 episodes but WTF! 😭🤯 I think I screamed about 10 times per episode.

I understand the creators ending the show where they did and how quickly after Arthur learned the truth because of the myths, but goddamnit I wish there was more. Also I have to say I hate that I watched this on streaming because of the amount of ad breaks I had to deal with to get through the finale. When I’m ready to rewatch, I’ll have to find the dvds because I don’t want have the patience to have ads interrupt me again.

The finale was heart breaking. But in some twisted way I relate to Merlin. I've had many bad things happen in life and very unfair things. I did everything that I could, and it still proved to not be enough. Like Merlin, he did what he could to defy the prophecy, and still the worst thing happened. I feel less alone in my situation.

Ok so I’ve rewatched Merlin a dozen times but this was my first time in a solid 3-4 ish years and it’s restarted my love of aurthian stuff and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for another show/movie/book about Merlin,Arthur,Gwen,magic, Excalibur and all the fun in between?

…but just in Club Penguin

Had a boring day so I decided to see if Club Penguin is still up. Created an account and went to the clothing shop first thing (as one does) only to see lo and behold Arthur and Merlin (they also have a wizard set).

Arthur is back everywhere but in the show

I just got this ad for some fantasy novel and I immediately recognised the guy holding sword image as being from season 1 episode 9 of merlin at 30:28.

It only took me 3.5 years after drawing Merlin to complete a two part series.. 😆 considering an illustration of them together next?

Just an appreciation post for Gwen’s outfits when she goes on trips!! I feel like they reflect her so well, they’re very cute and cosy looking, and have such cute details!! The outfits being more decorated also makes sense because she can embroider and sew (“the best seamstress in Camelot”). I’ve always wanted a poncho/cape and shirt similar to the two pictures shown, but haven’t found any quite similar enough.

i think back to the wraith or Edwin or Morgana and wonder how it could have turned out if the characters had a more "extend a compassionate hand" sort of approach like in "A Herald of the New Age" where the ghost is just spoken to. I'd still like to see their villainy but i want to see how it would change if there was like "talk no jutsu" sort of thing. Any fanfics at all like that?
