Hey. I LOVE Merlin!!!! It is such a great show! If they don’t renew it for all five seasons, I will die!!!!!!!My favorite episode is the “Fires of Idirsholas.” It really was fantastic. It had action (the knights) and I loved that Merlin tried to poison Morgana. Personally, since Morgana is one of my favorite characters, I am a little upset that she disappeared. Where is she? I think that sometimes the show neglects her anyway, and I am afraid that she will not be coming back for awhile. Even if she does become evil, I can’t see her attacking the kingdom like Nimue, because she grew up there and she has so many friends there, like Gwen and Arthur. Even though she wants to kill Uther, she doesn’t want anyone else to die in the process. I think that it is what sets her apart from other soccorcers. Sadly, I think that the next time that we see her on the show, she will be evil
I also cannot wait for “The Last Dragonlord” It’s on tonight!!!!! GO MERLIN!

Merlin is my favourite show!!
I’m staying in France until till June and just found out that the Château de Pierrefonds, where the series is (partly) shot, is actually really close! So I’ll definitely visit it!!
If anyone could tell me when they’ll be shooting series 3, you’d make me sooo happy, because then I’d maybe have the chance to get a glimpse of them shooting!

January 29th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
I love Merlin! it is the best tv show me and all my friends have ever seen! We would all die if the stopped making it. i am in love with Arthur. He’s so hot! Series 3 with air in September 2010 (i think) in england. me and my friend plan 2 go 2 Chateau De Pierrefonds soon. The Lady of the Lake made me cry and it also brought out the emotional side of Colin. i also loved The Last Dragonlord, The Fires of Idirsholas, The Once and Future Queen and Sweet Dreams. Season 2 was SOOOOO good and sooooo funny. especialy in the Fires of Idirsholas with Gaius and merlin tryin 2 wake him up…… u should no wat i mean

Well, i wtach it in french and season one just finished i cant wait for season 2!!! Whats going to happen with the drream mogorran had??? sorry if the names are wrong dont know them in english
February 11th, 2010 at 1:27 am
Mabuhay!
I am from the Philippines. At my age, i can’t believe it that i & family would be addicted to this wonderful series. It has a very strong storylines and believable deviations/twists from the so called “arthurian legend”. I love it so much and since it would take forever before the S2 will be available here i ordered S2 from amazon uk because i believe that the Merlin-DVDs are collectibles. I just hope there will be more improved effects/CGIs in S3 and award winning episodes for many seasons to come. I envy those who are able to watch the actual making of the merlin. lucky folks! Kudos to the Merlin team and more power to scifi scoop.
February 11th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
calling out 4m london!- at first i thought merlin looked babyish-but once i watched the first episdoe i was HOOKED!!!
February 11th, 2010 at 12:47 pm
i knw this is gonna sound mad but what is the traditional story of merlin and arther?!!!! all i knw is arther was a king i had no idea who merlin was!!
February 19th, 2010 at 11:58 am
Hello! I’m italian, I love Merlin and I hope that in the third series, Uther dies, so Arthur becomes king, and Merlin can reveal to him, his magical powers.Instead I hope that Morgana doesn’t die, because I feel sorry for her.I look forward to the third series begins! Colin and Bradley are fantastic! Greeting from Italy! Goodbye!
February 26th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
Hi I’m from America,I found Merlin on Hulu and I love it.I watched the first episode and was hooked the show is spectacular. I can’t wait for the 3 season to come out. I’m hopping the third season is a great as the other 2 this is a great series.
February 27th, 2010 at 10:07 am

March 30th, 2010 at 11:48 am
Pls we a waiting for season 3 of merlin pls we hope it will come out soon
April 1st, 2010 at 4:51 pm
I’m from the us and i was really surprised when my friend said that there had been another season of merlin, apparently nbc had dropped it and sci-fi has picked it back up. they start showing the second season tomorrow and i just finished watching it online today so I’m a little bummed, but i’ve heard that the third season either starts in august or september of this year. what i don’t understand is that in the original story, morgana and arthur are half brother and sister, and yes morgana and morgouse are sisters, but they aren’t really twins, morganna is older and morgouse is the queen of the fairies. also there have been some stories, that gwen is a princess and arthur marries her to join there kingdoms, and she really loves lancelot. there are so many stories and i can’t wait to see if they write a whole new version or use a preexisting one
April 3rd, 2010 at 2:39 am
I’m from Bulgaria and love Merlin it’s such a fantastic movie I love it and a hope season3 comin soon
April 4th, 2010 at 11:20 pm

Hey, i think is better if the lady morgana find out how to use her power for good in season 3 cuz she’s not suppose to end like that, and arthur should know that merlin have powers, since there a little trust in them.
June 5th, 2010 at 8:34 am

Loved Season 1 of Merlin, am really enjoying season 2 and am looking forward to season 3. Thank you SciFi channel for airing it here in the USA, and thanks to everyone who brought new life to the old legend!
June 14th, 2010 at 3:17 pm
MERLIN ROCKSSS!!!!! He is definetly the coolest. Sadly I think Uther should die, but he should at least stay alive for 3 episodes.Arthur and gwen are perfect for each other. I feel sorry Merlin. A lot of people he cared about died.i watched both seasons online I found the first season on netflix. After that i was hooked.
I think it is the best show ever. I think the third season comes out in august or september, not sure.See yas:}(smiley face.)
June 21st, 2010 at 3:56 am
hi i am turkish and i just wanna say TH?S ?S THE BEST SHOW EVER! ? love arthur and i hope he and gwen can be together.i love them and i hope third season will be great!
take care…
June 22nd, 2010 at 9:10 am
Merlin Season 3 has began shooting…first episode comes out on the 18th of September 2010.
^on BBC forums -.-
June 23rd, 2010 at 8:57 am
hi everyone l really love it if merlin season 3 would start a.s.a.p please i would love if arthur and gwen got married and merlin tells arthur about his magic and uther dies and mybe gwen and arthur have children at the end of the season lol
PLEASE BRING MERLIN BACK SOON PLAESE
X X X X X X X X X X X X
June 26th, 2010 at 1:32 am
MERLIN is pro i want it to start 18th september grr i want it to start now. it’s quality ; )
June 27th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
MERLIN is my life. I can’t wait For season 3. Ever since i found out that Morgana Had magic she was my fav person on the show. I HATE Uther (Did i spell that right). He is such a jerk killin people. I really want Arther to find out Merlin has magic. In the last episode of season2 Arther had to be unconscious when Merlin saved the day and now Arther thinks that he saved the day. Poor Merlin though He had a dad then didn’t cause he died.
Concerns about season 3-
*Will Morgana Come back
*Will the dragon come back
*Will Arther find out Merlin has magic
*Will Uther find out Merlin has magic
*Will Arther find out how he really was born
*Will Arther get married to Gwen
*Will we see Lancelot again
*Will Uther Finally die
*Will we see the druid boy again (Sorry forget his name)
*Will the druid boy get revenge on Merlin
That turned into more than i though anyway someone say wen Merlin is commin back cause i can’t wait anymore
July 2nd, 2010 at 10:29 am
Merlin is the best fantasy series to hit TV! That I have come across anyway. Morgana used to be my favorite, until she turned into a traitor and tried to help get Uther killed… Though I don’t care for Uther much either.
Arthur is HAWT! *squeals* And Merlin is a SEXY BEAST! XD I’d love to see Arthur find out Merlin has magic in the third season, especially since Merlin has had alot of excuses to keep himself alive.
It would be amazing if Gwen and Arthur could get together in the third season. Just think of how the people of Camelot would feel, seeing as a non-noble became Queen! It’d be perfect!
Mordred (Druid Boy), I think he should come back at some point, as well and Morgana and Morgause (I think I spelled that right). Morgause HAS TO have saved Morgana from the poison hemlock, because well… She’s like a key person in the story, considering she’s supposed to take the place of Arthur’s evil sister that he ended up having a kid with in one variation of the legend. (I hope that doesn’t happen, because that’d be freaking creepy!)
I think my favorite episode from season 2… Definately when Uther was enchanted to fall in love with the Troll! Aruther was all: “But Father, she’s a troll!” Ang Uther got all protected and POEd: “Never speak of her that way again!” And takes away his title… But Merlin saved the day! Priceless episode!
I WILL BE WATCHING THE SERIES FINALE TONIGHT!
Keep it going guys! I’d love to see a 5th Series of Merlin. Its great, the only thing I really tune in to watch on the weekends.I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the future!
By the way, from the USA, but I wish I was from Camelot! XD
July 3rd, 2010 at 1:50 pm
I love the show but I am really dismayed how the managed to screw up the legendary story. According to the legend, Morgana is Merlin’s half sister and Mordred is Morgana’s and Merlin’s son. Mordred vows to kill Merlin because he was rejected by Merlin. Morgana tricked Merlin into sleeping with her by changing herself into another woman that Merlin loved. Also according to the legend, Gwen is a noble woman from another kingdom who was betrothed to Arthur after his father died. Uther hated Arthur and banished him from his kingdom when Arthur was young. It was only after Uther’s death was Arthur allowed to enter the castle. As you can see, the TV series is very different from the legend. The legend has more violence and incest in it.
July 6th, 2010 at 8:08 am
Hey,indeed morgan is a sensible actor among the all. i really appreciate with his efort in the serie, where he show is personal ben.
but notwistanding,arthur was among the most actors who had a bent in the serie.i love the the both behave.
Thanks.
July 7th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
If they do not have other seasons of “Merlin”, I will be devistated. I din’t care for it at first, but after the first few shows, ( season 1,) I was hooked big time!! I have fallen in love with BBC shows, and find it very hard to watch American television any more, what would I ever do without Merlin? Choatopia
July 14th, 2010 at 10:09 am
pls can anybodi tel me wen it wud be on dvd
July 22nd, 2010 at 2:32 pm
hello I am onur from turkey. I am watching merlin as you do. I like the story of the merlin especially gaius and arthur. I think this movie has showed to us that they have never say this word ‘english’.
this movie has showed to us this story might be from another nation or country. anyway. I am waiting for merlin too. last year the movie
had started in october. I think merlin is going to start in october too. At turkish tv there is not any kind of movie which I could watch as I love and at the same time could be getting better at english. in fact nearly every body watches merlin because of they are able to be better at english. I want merlin. I wanna watch merlin I am really bored. turkish movies are funny nor interesting for me. I am 15 and I hate turkish movies. somtimes I think that I wish I would be an english man.
July 28th, 2010 at 11:16 am
its on the 18 of september merlin starts i can’t wait till it comes
July 31st, 2010 at 7:37 pm
Yay! for Merlin season 3. Loved season 2. Will really miss Morgana and the Dragon. Best Dragon ever. I live in the US and right now we have mostly trash for tv – until Merlin came along. I am so grateful to BBC for producing it. I hope they don’t wait too long to show it here.
August 2nd, 2010 at 5:29 am
Hey =],
I absolutely LOVE merlin. Arthur is Hot and Merlin is YUMMY ;P I can’t wait for series 3 been really addicted to the other two series and I’ve heard that there will be five so I’m very excited. I can’t wait to watch the relationship between Arthur and Gwen grow and the relationship between Arthur and Merlin. If there is five series I don’t think Arthur will find out Merlin has powers till the fith series and I doubt Gwen and Arther will become public with there relationship untill the last series, which will probably be when Uther dies. I’m soooo in love with the programme and them and I really want to a signing or something =D Anyways thats all i wanted to say =D
MERLIN RULES xxxxx
August 2nd, 2010 at 9:00 am
hello. I am waiting for merlin too. could anyone tell me when merlin will start again. I really wonder this. I watched every epsiode of it. and my friends in turkey suggest me that I should watch english movies to be better at englih. so I started to watch merlin. maybe it is very different cultur but I loved merlin very much.
August 12th, 2010 at 11:49 am

Hi. I am writing from down under ( good ol’ Aussie). I am a MAJOR fan of Merlin. I am really excited about Merlin Series 3, like the rest of you. I think it comes out on the 20th Sept 2011 or so, as said by Merlin wiki. Sadly for me, it will come out much later than that for Australia as EVERYTHING comes out later than the U.K. in Australia:P.
September 12th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
I watch Merlin and tell everyone I know all over the world to watch. I am hopeingMerlin Season 3 will be picked up here in Amercia. Good, clean, fun TV is hard to find. I hope someone will post when it plays in the US Again.
