Not since Figwit (played by Brett McKenzie) in Lord of the Rings has a side character garnered a fan following as fervent as the one surrounding Doctor Who’s rebellious Jethro (played by Colin Morgan) who is stuck with his parents and The Doctor on a bus that has broken down IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. Morgan was a relatively unknown actor when he appeared on Doctor Who in July 2008, but just a few months later he catapulted to fame with a starring role in BBC’s Merlin as, well, Merlin.

Depending on your television habits, Tom Ellis is either best known to you as King Cenred (Merlin), Gary Preston (Miranda), or Dr. Thomas Milligan (Doctor Who). And if you don’t watch any British television, 1) What’s wrong with you? and 2) You probably don’t know who he is at all. And that’s a shame. Because he’s fantastic.

<3 Tom Ellis.
Before becoming a “fierce” warrior of God on Supernatural, Sebastian Roche served in King Arthur’s court as Sir Gawain in the Merlin TV mini-series circa 1998 (he left Eoin Macken some sexy shoes to fill, that’s for sure!).

So pissed that this season of Merlin ended with a fucking PROPOSAL and WEDDING and not a magic reveal, what the fuck.
I hate everything.
It was so good until just now. Ugh.
(oh except morgana’s dragon was pretty cool)
Seriously you guys, what the fuck was that. It was so great until the last like 5 minutes and then it became a total cop-out finale. =/
I mean, at least we can now avoid another season of Arthur and Gwen mooning over each other and wondering what their ~~feelings~~ mean etc etc, but ugh, the finale should have been a magic reveal.
I wrote this episode of Movie Trivia for all of you Merlin and Harry Potter fans out there. Let it never be said that I don’t find ways to make my interests relevant to my job.
When I started watching Merlin (I need to go back to it) I was looking for a good video of this. I could not find one. So this will work.

Overall, disappointed in Doctor Who series 6 and very impressed with Merlin’s 4th series premiere.
The first two episodes of Doctor Who set up a season with so much potential and I feel like Moffat tried to overcomplicate things to keep the fans guessing and accidentally boxed himself into a corner that he couldn’t quite write his way out of.
It’s like he tried so hard to keep secrets from us that he forgot to put some of them back in where they were supposed to go.
I dunno…I just expected something…more. I expected the twist with the doctor being the robot and I didn’t appreciate that we saw the robot people ask the Doctor if they could help and the scene cut before he accepted — it made the reveal at the end feel cheap and obvious. I was really rooting for there to be like 4 or 5 different incarnations of the Doctor working together — a ganger doctor, a robot doctor, past doctor, present doctor, and maybe an alternate time-stream doctor?
I don’t understand WHY River loves the doctor…and why he felt compelled to marry her. Is it like a weird obsession = love thing? I also really resented the Doctor referring to her as “hell in high heels”. River rarely wears high heels and she’s so much more than just a woman. I really wish Moffat would stop with the latent sexism.
At least the Merlin season 4 premiere kicked ass. I’m so glad that show has finally found it’s tone and a plot to carry the characters forward. That show had a tendency to get really repetitive, but I feel like season 4 is going to be just…amazing. My one hope is that…if Uther has to die, I want Arthur to find out about Merlin’s magic before that happens. I think the story is so much more interesting if Arthur has to decide what to do with that knowledge while Uther is still alive.
But that’s just me.
