In my opinion, the goal of this wikia is to be reliable, useful, complete as much as a wiki can be, and beautiful. That's why I dislike :
 * Those who, adding a new picture, make an unaesthetic paragraph break ;
 * Those who add informations in pages they didn't check out.
 * Those who add pictures anyhow in a page.
 * Those who add irrelevant sentences in a page.
 * Those who add pages they didn't prepare. When we have an idea of a new page, we also must have an idea of what to put in it. Some pages are almost empty, not because there's not much to put in it, but because they have not been prepared.

Favorite episodes

 * 1. The Last Dragonlord

For the meeting between Merlin and Balinor. The writers made of Balinor one of the deepest and most complex character of the series, in just fifteen minutes. A tour de force ! The performance of John Lynch was awesome.

For the face of Merlin saying "There's no point !", "I'm your son", "Sleep well, father".

For one of the most overwhelming, heartbreaking, distressing moment of the whole series. When Merlin is bent crying over his dying father and, in this very time, must hide his feelings from Arthur.


 * 2. The Fires of Idirsholas

The huge misunderstanding was an absolute delight. Morgana didn't know she was the source of the magic and Merlin didn't know that she didn't know and thought then she'd turned evil. Morgana didn't understand why Merlin, the kindest person in the world, her close friend, poisoned her. Poor Arthur ! He didn't have a clue of what was happening on the stage, didn't have the slightest idea of the forces surrounding him.

So far, until today,s one the best thriller of the series. Three characters trapped in the Castle of Sleeping Beauty during thirty minutes. This episode is unlike any other. I dream of an other one.

One question though :. How is it possible that Morgause did not wonder how Merlin managed to know the truth about the source of the magic ?


 * 3. The Eye of the Phoenix

If the adjective "marvelous" fits to one episode only, it's this one. A Perilous Quest, scarying beasts, the great myth of the Wasted Land, wild country, a valiant Prince, action, magic, emotion. All this in one episode, it's more than we could wish, a visual enchantment.
 * Second, for the Crystal cave itself, it was fascinating and we understand the fascination melted with terror of Merlin. The following dialogue between Merlin and Arthur, who didn't have a clue of what happened while he was completly out, was briliant.
 * Third, the treachery of the crystals.


 * 6. 'The Secret Sharer


 * 7. The Nightmare Begins


 * 8. The Tears Of Uther Pendragon


 * 9. The Dragon's Call


 * 10. The Wicked Day


 * 11. The Darkest Hour


 * 12. The Servant Of Two Masters


 * 13. Le Morte d'Arthur

The worst creatures of the series
The making of this creature is a complete failure, a catastrophe. The scenes between the Griffin and Merlin, then between Lancelot and the Griffin are at least pathetic, awful ; especially when Merlin, lying on his back, is waiting to be killed by the Griffin, and when Lancelot strikes a blow against the creature.
 * 1) The Griffin





Cinema is unforgiving. Everyone sees that Lancelot is not facing the Griffin, just a green screen.

2. Lamia

Look at this beast



It reminds me this other one

Glass eye and plastic body. It's not scary, just laughable. By the way, what such an alien could have anything to do with the Old Religion and the Arthurian Legends ?

3. Bastet

This creature was not a failure as the Griffin was, though it was not great, but this picture



looked so fake. The cinema is unforgiving, the slightest error ruins the entire scene.

And look at this one

It looks like we are in Hollywood studio in 1950. It's a shame, because the face of Colin Morgan

was so moving !

The worst couples

 * 1. Tristan and Isolde. They came out of nowhere, then we didn't have much time to know them. I don't understand why the female characters are so mistreated in this series. Very often, they're black or white. Isolde appears as a tough woman, but in fact, she's mainly cheesy, especially when she told Gwen to never give up hope, or, worse, when she explain to Arthur why she wanted to fight at his side. It was pitiable. I never believed one second in the romance Tristan/Isolde. Thanks to the writers, we got rid of Isolde. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Unfortunatly Tristan is still on the spot. We've got already enough dumb knights, especially dumb knights who think they are intelligent. At least, we can give Percival the credit of not pretending to be smart. Besides, I don't understand why, finally, the couple chooses to fight at the side of Arthur. That was pointless.
