Hey, great blog post, good effort! We'll definitely see two new monsters in the opening two-parter. As for 18 new monsters..whoa, haha, I think at least four would do me. Just whatever happens, '''NOT ANOTHER LAMIA!! '''I also don't really fancy Merlin being seduced by a vampire, reminds me too much of all these other movies.. The producers also said no love interest for Merlin, so I suppose no artificial love interest, either.

I wouldn't mind a phoenix at all, that's one thing. As for being revived by Gilli? (A rumour that's circulated around the Wiki for some time) No.
