User blog comment:Lady in Waiting/Is this the end of an era? Whether or not, please share what brought you to Merlin/@comment-5733773-20121119051212

Honestly I was never really into the whole Arthurian Legends before but I have always loved medeval/fantasy style stories (Legend of the Seeker being my favorite at the time!). When Merlin was brought over to the States I would occasionally catch glimpses of it and thought "Eh, not interesting" but then I never properly paid attention to it. One night while I found myself channel surfing and nothing on TV so I just left it on a channel and went on doing whatever. When I came back in The Gates of Avalon was on TV. It was roughly midway through the episode but I was drawn into it and found myself trying to make it a point to watch it every week. I remember being very upset when the season was over with and turned to youtube in hopes of finding more. Then of course I learned there's only 13 episodes to a season. Ever since then it has been my tradition to watch episodes on youtube each season and finally, for the first time in all 5 seasons I was able to watch the live premier thanks to this wiki and it was so incredibly awesome! I have thoroughly enjoyed each season so far. I even got my best friend hooked on it!
