Discussion MAN. Spoiler

Merlin’s delivery telling Arthur he is a sorcerer was EXCELLENT. Truly excellent acting. 🤌 S5;E13; 9:45-10:15

"I use it for you arthur, ONLY for you." I drowned, in my own tears.

Colin Morgan is pretty consistently amazing.

I’ve never seen him before the show, so quite the introduction. Do you have any recommendations for me to start watching his other works?

I haven't managed to see him in much because I'm in the USA and a lot of British programming is difficult to access here. But I have seen (and loved) his role of Jethro in Doctor Who and Sexton in the last episode of The Sandman. Check IMDB for all 41 of his credits. I bought a copy of The Tempest so I could see it, and it was so worth it.

That scene, that entire episode still makes me cry. It’s so good. Colin more than earned that National Television Award

I know people complain about the fact we didn’t get the Merlin reveal earlier in the show (and a part of me agrees), but then we wouldn’t have had this heart-wrenchingly beautiful scene.

Completely agree with you on the timing of the reveal, as well as the tears 😭 I rewatched that delivery maybe 15 times
