User blog:123Action/A Year

Hi Everyone

This time last year the wiki was full of speculation and theories as we waited somewhat impatiently for the new series.

Well we all know how series 5 turned out... and there no point trying to petition for a redo as I truly doubt that a year on they would even consider re-doing the series.

Anyway now a year on we have, Atlantis.

Personally I think Atlantis is quite a decent show. While it might not have had the same character depth and actors  as Merlin and didn't quite take me into the world of Atlantis  as much as The Dragons call took me into the world of Camelot and Albion it had a good storyline with a lot of potential particularly if the show becomes more darker. I enjoyed Mark Addy as Hercules, he was like a funnier version of Robert Baratheon from Game of Thrones.

What my main problem with Atlantis is that the Director's/Creators of Merlin wrote it. While I'm not saying this is bad, after all they gave us 4 (5 years depending how you look at it) of great entertainment and promising storylines. However I do think that the Creator's simply got bored with Merlin and came up with a new idea and so they rushed to finish Merlin so they could move on. So what's to say they won't do the same with Atlantis, particularly when we are getting the same promises of "a great destiny" all over again. More's to the point where are our answers.

Personally I would have expected proper answers about the Finale and why it was done that way. Instead we got a few well rehearsed interviews and a promise that there may be a spin off.

So the main point of my article is where is the spin off...there is no news on it and it seems to have been forgotten.

To me a spin off is a great idea. Depending on how it was done, lets say they could have a spin off based on the woman of Albion (Annis, Mithian, Elena and Gwen) we could end up with a lot of answers and a proper ending to the show where everything that happened in the finale makes sense especially on how Arthur fulfilled his destiny.

So to finish I'll leave you with a question.

Do you want a spin off and if so how would you like it done?

Thanks for reading
