User blog comment:Stacey aerist/What made you watch in the first place why did you like it so much/@comment-6905051-20130404120953

I generally like fantasy fairytale stuff and a friend of mine once gave me an episode of season 3 on youtube. I know I am a real real late bloomer. Anywho never bothered with it, but the red backround and emrys and merlin's eyes turning golden sometimes came between stuff I was watching as promo. On a lazy sick  weekend last yr, I just sat down totally utterly disappointed with some fantasy romance I bought on Kindle and decided to re watch OUAT season1 and thought of giving Merlin a try. To be honest, when I watched the episode first time, I quite liked the guy who played Merlin, he had intelligent eyes( never knew his name then). That is when I decided to find the episodes and watch them all. and offcourse catch season5 real time. Suffice to say, best utilized sick leave ever and now I am forever lurking on this wiki.
