First Episode Of Merlin

I wasn't going to post this behind a cut, because there isn't really anything here that could be considered a spoiler. However, there's a mention of a character moment or two, so I decided I will.



-Merlin looks strangely like a young Peter Wingfield--possibly mixed in with James Marsden in a certain light. He seems like a good actor--especially going by the fact that the only other time I've seen him before was in the Doctor Who episode "Midnight."

-I think I might watch a couple more episodes, since I'm not entirely sure that I like the show or not. I know I like Merlin, Guinevere, and the older guy that is Merlin's friend--no idea what his (or the actor's) name is, but he's strangely familiar. If Anthony Stewart Head gets more to do, then I'll probably like his character.

-Every time there was a mention of destiny, I felt like I was watching an episode of Smallville. Of course, Merlin seems more interesting to me.

-The evil witch--I kept waiting for her to scream "I'll swallow your soul!" whenever they showed her true self. She looked like the evil demons in Army of Darkness.

-For once, I actually liked Eve Myles' character, even if it was just someone disguised as her. I take it the evil witch is permanently dead?

Yes - they're walking in the garden talking about the Queen's mistress being ill.
