[quote=""J.D. Oswald""]For all Merlin fans, it starts again tonight on BBC1 - hurray

[/quote]

I shall wait and buy the DVD. I wonder if they will proceed with a season 6? There was talk of making a movie, but not sure if it was just rumour.

Series 5 will be the last series.

I only just found out about that - rather a shame. I also read that there might be a film in the pipeline.

I'll miss this show. There aren't enough fantasy shows for me to watch anymore.

Oh gosh that's so disappointing

....Now I can't understand how they have ended Season 5? I'll have to wait and see the DVD in January..But the two episodes that I did watch still had Arthur totally unaware of Merlin's magical abilities...Although Mordred did return....I hope they have rounded the show off and not simply let it remain as a continuation.
As for a movie version I'd certainly want to see it, but I hope they remain true to the spirit of the show and not follow that awful 'Camelot!'

Ah well..There is still Game of Thrones S 3 to come.

It hasn't finished it's run yet, it's about halfway through.

Can't wait for Game of Thrones 3!

What I wonder is how and when Merlin's magic will be revealed. Hopefully all the story lines with get covered in the two hour finale.

I hope so too Nefret, or I shall be disappointed....But unless they change the outcome entirely everyone knows what happens to King Arthur...But then again Lancelot kind of disappeared from the show entirely. I hope they don't leave it open ended with a movie in mind....If the actors who currently play the roles won't do the movie, then it probably wont work...I would like to see it come to a complete conclusion in the finale and I shall be buying the DVD in January when it is released here.

So Series 5 finished on Xmas Eve

Think they more or less stuck to the Prophecy, although there was a strange little scene with Merlin right at the e end. I'd rather they'd left it at Avalon, but I got a little bit teary....there were some touching scenes.

I deliberately stayed away from watching the series on our TV channel( Ch: 10 ?) so I could watch it advert free on DVD which will be released early Feb 2013. I will buy the box set, but am sad too

that it's all over red rover

..I loved Merlin

. Ah well and yes I am looking forward also to GOT S 3 and buying GOT Season 2 On DVD(Why does it take forever for this show to be released to DVD?). But I hope GOT tones down the sex/violent scenes...Shows like Merlin and Downtown prove that a quality show does not need it!
