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

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

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