Merlin related stuff

This post has no topic, nothing particular I'm writing about. Just a whole lot of Merlin related stuff.

First of all, The Merlin Mega Fan website has been down for MONTHS! So to get it finished ASAP, I will only be publishing this blog every 2 weeks on Thursdays or Fridays to make more time for the Website.

Now then, on to a whole lot of Merlin related Stuff...

Atlantis

Jonny Capps & Julian Murphy's new show! It was very Merlin-y, wasn't it? A young man arriving in an extraordinary place un aware of his destiny. That sentence could be applied to both Merlin and Jason in each of their first episodes!

In my previous post, I wrote bout some of the similarity's that I had already spotted between Merlin and Atantis, like Sarah Parish having acted in both shows, and "The Legend Begins" being on the Atlantis trailer, and the Merlin Series 1 Part 1 DVD set.

Now I have spotted another actor who I remember being in Merlin!
