    Hey,

    Has anyone else got into this programme? I got into it mid-way through the last series and enjoyed it. Its now started back and I'm just wondering if anyone else is hooked.

    I sheepishly admit that I kind of like it. Some pretty bad acting (Arthur, Gwen) mixed with good acting (Gaius, Merlin, Uther) and the main story is pretty good. Looking forward to seeing where they'll take it. They're building towards something very dark, that's for sure. I don't see

    maybe because she is playing an English aristocrat type and makes no attempt to hide her accent. she is hot though! What was she in over here> clinic, fair ****ty, killasnaskully?

    Some of the guest stars are good too like Adrian Lester, Mackenzie Crook etc.
    Also so much better than Robin Hood!

    Ah no...
    Gaius
    has to... I think we'll see more of the little druid boy. Its interesting that the dragon (I know the special effects are not great but you can overlook that) said that "the witch cannot be trusted" so I'm wondering is this connected with the druid boy. Morgana can be annoying at times though I wonder how strong her powers will grow throughout this series.

    Yeah I recognised her face too so googled it... she was in the Tudors... her first acting job was with Jonathon R. Meyers (not sure of spelling) as one of his eh... conquests...

    Was I seeing things or were the Scottish guys drinking cans of Bavaria in the last episode?

    Medieval scots were well ahead of the times. Aluminium cans were invented by Hamish McHamish in the 6th century. Duh.

    Pretty serious prop blunder there alright... :)
