Anyone watch the BBC's Merlin? I stayed up from 10 last night to 7 this morning watching Merlin on demand. The acting is quite sucky all the younger actors who aren't main characters. I mean Mordred and Merlin main ones are great but if there is one guy or chick and they are in one/two episodes. They will repeatedly draw the exact same expression to the point you think the TV jumps. Also for some bizarre reason when anyone is escaping or something they have to stand 10 mins and talk to someone !! My biggest disappointment: There's no Mab/Miranda, so sad. On the other hand, the actors who can act are good. The story lines are fabulous. The chick who plays Morgana is like our Morgan as in she is super hot. Uther marries and makes out with a really disgusting troll as he is under a spell. Nimue grows more on me but still no where near Mab. So, anyone else? Attachments:

I've only seen a couple of episodes, and it's quite entertaining, but that was about it. No Mab = no love. And you are right, the acting sometimes really sucks big time. Funnily enough, when i first googled Merlin fanfiction, I found an Arthur/Merlin piece (from the BBC Merlin) called Fumbling in the dark. Now that confused me!  But Morgan is hot as hell! |

Yeah Mab makes Merlin even if she isn't in the original, and no one would ever be able to reach the same Mab standards through, expressions, raspy voice, looks, and fabulousness other than Miranda Richardson. Mmmm yeah I could understand that but upon watching ten episodes last night I can conclude until I saw Merlin snog the druid girl I was convinced it was gonna be revealed he and Arthur were having an affair. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like that or the chemistry between the actors. I have no problem with any fic couple but some capture my attention more than others (like any with Mab in it) so this isn't one of them. Katie McGrath and Helena Bonham Carter are both really hot but I would say Helena makes a better Morgan, but I may be slightly more HBC fan here  |

Me neither, I mean, she should be overjoyed at us celebrating the pure awesomeness of HBC. Well, I made a Helena-flag for her, too, she can come and claim it whenever she feels like it.  |

I can't enjoy this series... even though I am a huge fan of Anthony Head(Uther) and I love different takes on the Merlin Mythology...
But seriously.. no.
I mean look at the sets - the castle is from Renaissance not Dark Ages...
Guinevere a maiden?!?! thats even worse than making her a blue painted pictish warrior princess like they did in the other Arthur movie...
And sorry this Merlin.. naaah he simply is not Sam Neil ;-)
Not my case at all. Such a lousy excuse for great fantasy potential...

Did they have one?
I did't even make it that far through the episodes to notice any...
I noticed a very magical version of Nimueh (which was not the one of the points, that were worrying me...) and a strange Morgan... but no never seen a Mab... well but like I said, I only watched the first few episodes, and the series did not enchant me, so I stopped.

 Unfortunately. What annoyed me about Morgana was her character was so poorly developed, it takes more than a pretty safe and some sexy dresses. |
