Merlin series 4, episode 1

[karen9]

I managed to watch Merlin series 4, episode 1 on-line. The quality isn't great, it stops and starts constantly and there's a banner advertisement at the foot. I went into this site: www.tv-links.eu/tv-shows/Merlin_459/season_4/episode_1 and chose the videozer option that gives you 72 minutes free viewing.

The episode was good. I enjoyed it, but I spoilt it for myself by watching so many clips and trailers. The banter between Arthur and Merlin is a bit forced and inappropriate in some places. The CGI creatures are not scary on a laptop screen. Overall though, it bodes well for the rest of the series.

I find that sometimes an episode doesn't measure up because of all of the anticipation. I think you'll probably enjoy that first episode more on the second viewing -- and not just because the quality will be better. In any case, I'm glad to hear that you still liked that first episode and think it bodes well for the rest of the series. :-)

I should check the SPACE website and see if there's any sign of when they might be showing the fourth series. Sometimes they can get British shows surprisingly fast.

Merlin is not on the current SPACE schedule, but I'll keep checking. Thanks for the tip.

Ah, sorry. I should have been more clear about that. SPACE is the Canadian version of the SyFy Channel. Unfortunately, I don't think you would even be able to watch the episodes posted online. :-( Uh...maybe it won't be too long before the DVD is released.
