COLIN MORGAN STARS IN PREMIERE OF NEW SCI-FI/FANTASY SERIES “MERLIN” – With a letter from his mother revealing his innate ability to practice magic, Merlin (Colin Morgan) arrives in the city of Camelot to find Gaius (Richard Wilson), the Court Physician. Gaius takes Merlin under his wing to keep him out of trouble. Eager to discover his new surroundings, Merlin sets out to see the sites of Camelot and meets Arthur (Bradley James), a young bully who challenges him to a duel. After being thrown in jail for standing up to Arthur, Merlin attracts the attention of others in Camelot, including Gwen (Angel Coulby), Morgana’s (Katie McGrath) young maid and most importantly, King Uther Pendragon (Anthony Head), who will forever change the course of Merlin’s destiny.

Is this actually the new, full name for the combined version of The Dragon's Call and Valiant episodes? Or just a retitle of Dragon's Call?

This was all that was available when I set the threads up, as soon as I have more I'll post it. Keep an eye too on the website at: http://www.nbc.com/merlin/, there are clips and details there as well.

Out of all the television show pilot episode's that I've viewed I have never enjoyed one so immensely as I enjoyed this episode Merlin: The Dragon's Call. The event near the end in which Merlin meet the Dragon in the King's Dungeon Cave was absolutely incredible. To bad the BBC/NBC have not hired any artist to create comics (graphic novels) that could serve as tie-ins to the show. Also with LEGO and TT coming together to create LEGO Harry Potter The Video Game I feel as if Merlin should have it's own LEGO video game to.

I'd love to see merchandise and yeah it does seem like there should be a game (that would be fun!). I personally wish we'd see books from Merlin like the 'visual guides' that are produced for Star Wars, POTC, and LOTR.

I tried to view the episode but got this message:


Show cannot be retrieved at this time. Please try again later.

Is there anywhere that I can access the Series One Merlin? How frustrating!
