oh, stop your belly-aching people! At least you'll GET to see series 5 when it airs on BBC1 or whatever! Be it on the 29 of this month or the sixth of next month.

I live in the US, have nothing but local channels on my parents' tv, no Sy-Fy or BBCamerica, so even when it DOES come on in my country I won't get to watch it. Do you want to know what I'll be stuck doing while you guys get to squeal and gasp over the excitment that is BBC's Merlin? Probably watching the rerun episode of the big bang theory where Penny has to make all those little flower thingies and ship them out AGAIN with my parents because the local channels no longer air seinfield or any of the Britsh shows on PBS at a reasonable hour for family viewing.

The only way I'll ever see series five before it comes out on dvd in the us (probably a YEAR from now if I'm lucky; I'm still waiting on series FOUR to come out to dvd here!) is if some sweetie who evidently has no fear/knowledge of copyright laws posts it on youtube!

I don't mean to be offensive, but you people don't know how unbelivably LUCKY you are, and you're whining over waiting one or two more weeks? Come awn people. I swear, if it wasn't for Once Upon a Time season two I wouldn't have much at all to look forward to this fall on tv and you guys have got such a sweet deal, getting to see the Merlin premire whenever it comes on.
