*bounces up and down happily* Love the series, and I have been having severe withdrawal symptons since the end of the last series... :rolleyes: Can't wait for the next one. :)

I vaguely remember watching the first season of this, I think. Is this show similar to Game of Thrones at all?

Slightly. It's based on Arthurian legend, but the characters are changed slightly. Morgana represents Morgan le Fay and Gwen, the Lady Guinevere. There are houses, vassals and alliances, but these only occasionally come into play, as the series itself is centred around the treatment of magic in the Middle Ages... Except the magic is actually real. Merlin is at this point only a young man, but the prophecies surrounding him, Camelot, King Arthur, Morgana and the Dragons unfold throughout the episodes.

Sounds pretty good, going to have to look into it. I just seem to remember not liking the Merlin character, might have been my age at the time. Also, is the magic like in LoTR where it is totally unlimited and ridiculous or more like Eragon where it is pretty limited power-wise?

It's odd, because it's not as restricted as it was in the Inheritance Cycle, but all of the main characters are only just starting get to grips with their power, so it is nowhere near the scale of Lord of the Rings. There are occasionally older, more powerful curses/characters that appear, but usually just for one storyline or a couple of episodes.

When merlin is sitting by the river and Arthur goes to join him, the music in the background took me back to the first series, and it is still as awesome today as it was back then.

Also, cubey noticed this before I did, but a minecraft reference was sneakily placed in there
Arthur: I wish we had a horse
Merlin: What about a pig?
