Yeah... well we just began the 3rd season last week. I'll bet they are getting season 4 in the works. It looks to be too good to cancel this soon.

And while I'm here.... Does anyone have a link to the online episodes for season three? I hate the fact that I will be able to watch this show but leave for the last 15 minutes of it. Please don't ruin the ending for last night's... I have no problem watching one a week as long as I watch the majority of it on my tv the night before.

Please help.

Meanwhile, I"m going to surf the net to find it in case no one else here has a link. Thanks.

hey, miss c!! i don't have any links? have you tried hulu? that is a site that offers movies etc to people in the US. i don't have any links and was wanting to see merlin so badly, that i had to resort to downloading them...(watch them, then delete them) as a general rule, i don't download off of the net...but drastic times call for drastic measures ;D

[grandpalovegood]

Yeah.... I think I've tried Hulu but they only show past seasons. Thanks anyway. I'm trying to watch each week as much of the show as I can. I know they sell the previous season's at Target... or so they have advertised.

I do have a question while watching THIS episode right now... Does Morgana KNOW that Merlin is a wizard?

[grandpalovegood]

Well I finally did it. I figured out how to record tv to my DVD player. I could not get my VCR to work... ;D

Anyway, I now can watch the entire episode of Merlin the next day. I am so glad that I did because last nights episode was well worth it.

This show seems to have grown by leaps and bounds. It gets better and better as time goes on. I see now why JB kept saying what she did when she got to watch this show.

I have so many questions as to how they are going to bring in all of the rest of the traditional aspects of the legend of King Arthur and Camelot.... Oh and of course Merlin. I can't wait to see how this unfolds.

OH and I love how last night they did a sort of reveal... HOW the writers allowed Gwen to find out about Morgana having magic and her true nature. This is so cool.

[grandpalovegood]

Ever since I began watching this series last year, I wondered how long it was going to take before we began to see the stars of Harry Potter series show up on this television series. Then it happened not too long ago... Our very own Madam Sprout played on an episode I saw a couple of weeks ago... then again last night with Professor Flitwick.

Go Harry Potter stars!


I wonder who will be next?

[grandpalovegood]

Now we had ANOTHER crossover actor from the Potter series play on this show... It was several days ago when I last saw this more recent episode, and now I can't remember who it was. LOL!

Hmm.... this was the episode where Morgana sets up Arthur and Gwen to get caught smootching out at a picknic.

OH I remember!!! It's NEXT week when we get to see Harry Melling... Dudley without his fat suit. He will be the main visiting character for next week.

[grandpalovegood]

Recently I was wondering if I had gotten so caught up in my life that I must have forgotten what day it was.... that I wondered if I had missed the season finale. SO, I went and looked it up on the site I watch it in reruns. I was not sure if they had all of the episodes up to be seen there or if it were only the most popular ones of the series. SO, I went to look up on Wiki to see the entire episode listings. I did see the finale. Good. But I got to wondering when we might see season four. I'll post what was posted there.

It was revealed at the end of "The Coming of Arthur (Part 2)" that 'Merlin will return' possibly in 2011 or 2012. It was also revealed in Digital Spy that it will return in possibly 2012 for 10 episodes because of the rescheduling of Doctor Who.[7] Originally, Daemon's TV reported that Merlin will return with 10 new episodes due to its popularity among Saturday night viewers,[8] but as of March 18, 2011, it was revealed in an interview with executive producer Johnny Capps that Merlin is returning with 13 episodes, opening with a two-part story.[9] Colin Morgan has revealed that Merlin series 4 will air in September or October 2011.

Now with this said... We americans know we have to wait until AFTER the entire season has been aired over in England before we can set our hungry eyes upon that season's first episode. This seems like we are going to be in for a LONG wait. I so hope they won't think we might have given up or forgotten about this show. I mean, it was getting better and better as each episode went on. Keep your fingers crossed that eventually we will get to see it someday.

[JB Rockus]

Oh my goodness!, that's too long of a wait!! and the site i used to download the previous epis stopped working a few months ago, so i uninstalled it. looks like it's going to be a very long wait, unless someone posts them to youtube!!

[Duddahs]

I agree JB.. Too long a wait indeed.

Maybe we will just get lucky and they will be on Hulu soon.

[grandpalovegood]

JB.... Don't you get them the same time as those in England/UK do? You'll get to see them later on in a few months time... probably after summer. We have to wait until after the series has aired completely before we get them over here.

As for me, I rent them for 99 cents at I-Tunes. Well, those I missed seeing the ending or entirely the nights they were on tv all together. If either of you find them some place else PLEASE post the link here.

[grandpalovegood]

Heeeeey. I see there is a Merlin Marathon on right now.

[grandpalovegood]

Merlin is on right now... I had to post a funny thing the Gias told Merlin...

He said to be careful that dragons and trolls are known to be allies sometimes.

yep the king married a troll lady... that episode is on.

Our Ollivander is now talking to Merlin... ok the dragon is talking to him.

[grandpalovegood]

OH I'm just dying laughing..... There is a marathon on of the third season. I missed many of the episodes, sso I planned to tune in and to leave the channel put all day.

Then there is a goblin posessing Gias.... then he somehow made Uther's hair all fall out and gave him the farts. OH so funny! ;D

I can't wait to see how it endss.

[JB Rockus]

cool!! no doubt the syfy channel, which we don't get here. Oh my goodness!, it's soo cool that some of the HP stars have appeared on merlin!!

i wonder when the 4th series is coming out, anyone hear? perhaps i should just google, it's most likely already out in the UK.

edit: here's the answer to my question lol
The fourth series of Merlin started airing on 1 October 2011 Saturdays on BBC One and BBC One HD.

googling further, i saw that the 1st epi of series 4 aired 2 nights ago on space hannel. aww, i missed it!!!

[grandpalovegood]

Yeah... that is why they were doing the marathon. What bothers me.... It's been so long since I watched the last season, then the other day I was sleeping off and on while laying on the couch. I stayed awake during the episodes I missed. THen I dozed off during the episodes I remembered seeing.

When I knew the newest episode.. the first one of season four came on, I set my dvd player to record. I knew I was going to miss the last 20 minutes of it due to needing to be at work on time. SO... the next day I had to watch it twice. I missed the big moment. WHEN did Merlin's secret get out? When did everyone find out he was a wizard? And HOW? OH I cry so hard.... I've been waiting for this moment and still missed it.

[JB Rockus]

i know series 1 and 2 are out on DVD, and no doubt the 3rd is, too! perhaps you can pick up the 3rd series...or hopefully, they'll air the repeats or a marathon again. shame you missed the bits you wanted to see!!

i was gutted that i missed it on sat night.

[grandpalovegood]

Oh funny that you said that. Last night, I walked past this display of television shows on DVD... whole season packages. Well, I did notice there at the top was our Merlin. So, last night I took a closer look and noted that they only had the first two seasons.



I'm going to keep an eye out for season 3. Maybe they were sold out of those?

I might just go back and rewatch the last episode online somewhere. I know most of the shows last season, I had seen the whole thing except for the last15 minutes of it due to leaving for work. Oh well... that could have been where it all happened.

Merlin tonight. Here all day I kept thinking today was Saturday, when in fact it's still Friday. I'm just wanting this week to be over. Too long, but all's well. Now to end it all with a new show of Merlin... that is a good note. Yay!

Uther dies tonight! Arthur is crowned...

LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!!

[JB Rockus]

i missed it again lol busy weekend. i should just try to find it online!

[minkit12]

wow this is MY favorite show!!

I have been watching it since it began. yes, i have series one and 2 on dvd-- because when syfy airs them, they cut out some scenes that are on the dvd's. season 3 dvds for USA have been released and you can buy them online at walmart or best buy. blockbuster has them too. Netflix has them for rent but there's a long wait.

I can post links as to where you can watch them online. If i can post a link here I will do that, so let me know. Megavideo has them. so does sidereel. But there is a link that I watch that is better and has more choices, and hardly any commercials. let me know and I'll post the link. season four is now airing on fridays syfy at 10 pm. I have watched them online, all but the last 2 episodes. watching online is ok, but there's no captioning for the deaf, so I use a subtitle site.

I won't spoil it for the USA viewers, but someone DOES find out that Merlin has magic, but it's not who you think it is!! that's all I'll say. this friday will be the fourth episode-- about a baby dragon-- THAT was such a cute episode!!

[JB Rockus]

i love this series, too!! i haven't seen any of the 3rd yet as i wasn't aware til fairly recently that it was on tv on the space channel. thing is, i never saw ads for it when i watched that channel til last night!!! we get it on saturday at 5pm. hope nothing comes up, i'd fancy to watch it, i've missed so many epis! i'm going to buy the DVDs, too eventually...tv does have a habit of cutting bits out.

i don't live in the US, but know where i can get the sets...but that's when i have time and can afford it lol, there's 2 other disks i want but my cousin and his family have them, so i can just borrow them and save my money there hehe...why not? i lend them disks all of the time! i like to share and if it saves them money, why not?

[minkit12]

jb--some video stores will have merlin for rent. do u have blockbuster in your area? seems like all the other video stores have gone outta business.

grandpa---you haven't missed Merlin's secret coming out yet, in case you're wondering. (see above) I taped last nites episode...I'm gonna go watch it. bye!!
