Colin Morgan
So...I have a slight infatuation with Colin Morgan, as you can see lol.
Although I do feel Merlin as a show is reasonably good, and reasonably interesting, and the young cast acted well in their respective characters, I'm not too fond of Merlin as a role for Colin. I thought his theater work has given him much more intriguing personalities to attempt. But I'm very eager to see his film debut as Calum in The Sea Change (2010), that should be a challenging character.
Merlin does have its chemistry though. I think they did the right thing in putting their own twist in the legends. I'm very curious as to how Morgana will turn out in season 2, and whether they will do the reveal for Merlin's magic! What I AM dreading is another season of Merlin hiding around and Arthur being saved every episode with little to no inkling who his savior is. I do want their relationship to progress into master/confidant more.
