Merlin

I was talking with Norsefire1 about the upcoming Merlin show from the BBC this autumn at the weekend and thought I would post a link for those interested.

I was interested when I first heard about it. Now I am alternately enraged and depressed.

This could have been something great but why take a chance on that when you can just make the same thing over again in different costumes?

Dark Age Harry Potter, anyone? Smallville in ancient Britain?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sad

ive just read the BBC article about the show, it sounds like a bloody mess. ive not read a cast so miscast since superman returns. although in all honesty, why i am i surprised, robin hood was a pile of S***. maybe the BBC should be haveing a new motto, "the BBC killing off Britons myth"

at least john hurt will be in it.

See - I told you, didn't I?

yes i am sorry, i see the light now and its so bright, i know see where hopeing against hope gets me.

why cant the bbc just make something good they have in the past with merlin and the crystal cave. oh well the bbc might throw that out on dvd now.

CatFang

That would be something at least. I didn't see that at the time and I would like to have the chance

there is a trailer for this on you tube now, i see they have gone for something more akin to romance and not takeing merlin back to his roots, as for the trailer i was not what one could call sold on it.

Given the dog's dinner that is Robin Hood, I wasn't holding out much hope for this.
