Well, I was really into Narnia (REALLY into it, I watched the movies and read the books a whole bunch of times), and I saw a Narnia fanvideo that for some reason had a clip from Merlin in it. It caught my attention, but I was going through a...well, a rough patch...in my life, so I declined to see the show, busy with other things. Then, when things...changed, I guess...I happened to watch the first episode, was curious as to what would happen next, and I just got really into it. The show had me trapped since I first saw Kilgharrah. Also the acting was really good. Somehow, even though it's different from the legends, Merlin reminded me of everything I loved from the legends when I was a kid; it made me feel like a little girl playing with homemade Arthur and Guinevere paper dolls again, like I did when I used to look at pictures of knights in painting stores... it was a way I hadn't felt in a long, long time. Plus Katie just WAS Morgana to me; she fits the character better than anyone I've ever seen. And I liked Colin straight away, because he reminded me of Miles from Avalon High. Not to mention, Laura was a brillant Lady of the Lake. I love it when shows/movies make the Lady of the Lake good and not evil; yet they still had Nimueh for the villian, so it all fit so good.
