Too many unanswered questions to leave it here. How did Merlin survive all those centuries into modern times? What becomes of the White Dragon? It is more than easy to believe a spin off is possible with Arthur rising again at Albion's greatest time of need and in rising again he could be quite believable with a different actor playing the role, However, Merlin is Merlin and no one but that shining young Irishman could play him, nor could he be Merlin without the Great Dragon as part of his life - their lives are inexorably intertwined and pivotal to one another. Colin Morgan is a diamond - a simply brilliant actor who compellingly and convincingly has portrayed such a range of emotions he is surely destined for Oscar status. Outside of that he just glows with goodness. This is one young man I have no doubt will achieve greatness. There are so many possible ways to develop a spin off without degrading the stylish series we have all loved so much. The creators have already played with historical facts (as we know them) to some extent, so providing they keep the dignity, soul and balance of drama, magic and humour that the original series did I believe there is plenty of scope to keep Merlin in our hearts and minds for many years to come. If I can help let me know!!! Lynn Santer www.lynnsanter.com
