The Dragon's Call- Thank you very much for a great first reaction for Merlin, Dodo! I'm so happy you've begun to watch this show, and I certainly hope that you will continue to over time should you remain interested in it. I really enjoy this show overall, and I love its characters a lot. Especially Arthur and Merlin. It's very interesting to see the beginnings of Merlin and Arthur, with the both of them being young versions of the heroes we love from the Arthurian legends. And I love that Merlin's magic comes from pure instinct, and not just magic spells from spell books and study over years of practice. Arthur is a character who starts off rocky, but he absolutely gets better pretty quickly. I love the humor in Merlin's and Arthur's banter within this pilot episode, but I agree with you that I didn't really like Arthur in this episode either. Especially because this version of Arthur is very different from the Arthur I've grown to love from reading the books and watching the movies surrounding the Arthurian legends. I love the Arthurian legends. I love both King Arthur and Merlin, and everything about Camelot as well. But with this being said... I do quickly come to love Arthur's character here in The Adventures of Merlin too. And I love the actors who play both Arthur and Merlin as well. I don't really care all that much either Guinevere or Lancelot within the legends because I hate their overall love story, but I do actually like Guinevere throughout this show. And I am happy to say that I am very happy to see a very different kind of take on her character as well. I love Gaius' and Morgana's character overall as well. I especially love Morgana for a lot of what's to come for character throughout the overall show. Her character arc is fascinating. And Gaius is great mentor and friend to Merlin. I love him. I also really love the Dragon locked up beneath the castle. I love how he and Merlin come to meet upon the Dragon calling for him. And especially how the Dragon reveals his destiny to Merlin, as he reveals that Merlin must protect and guide Arthur so that he can grow to become the Once and Future King just as he is destined to become. To unite the Kingdom of Albion. Regarding King Uther... I really hate his overall character. I know that his actor... Anthony Head is from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and he's a fine actor. However, Uther is a character I really despise because he's quite despicable. And Morgana, as well as the witch within this episode, are absolutely right... that the more people he terrorizes and threatens because of his fear and suspicion of magic, the more the people will grow to see him as a real threat. The more he and Arthur will come to be in danger. Especially Arthur, just like we see within this episode. As a pilot episode, this episode is a great start to a fun and magical show. I love the overarching plot with the witch seeking revenge against Uther for killing her son, as she threatens to kill Arthur. An eye for an eye. And I love how she transforms herself into the singer in order to cast her spell over the people while singing such a beautiful song. Thank you again, Dodo! I look forward to seeing more Merlin from you whenever you choose to watch more should you do so. I hope you will continue to enjoy it over time. Sincerely, Heidi
