I’m going to be frank, here: I’ve just started writing this post with a bear minimum of actually screen-grabs and photos.
Which I’ll be adding, as soon as the penultimate episode of Merlin’s last series finishes ripping*.
At ANY rate … ?
At any rate, tonight’s episode of Merlin — Diamond of the Day — Part 1 — is the twelfth in the fifth and last series. is one mightily impressive piece of work.
Opening with Morgana torturing one of her troops, it sees her sending a trained trooper to break into Camelot to set a magical creature on Merlin.
A hideous, leech-like, creature called a Gæn Canach that sucks its victims dry of any magical power.
Which it does to Merlin.
Leaving him to seek out the Crystal Cave — last seen in Series Three — to recuperate his power.
Just in time, in fact.
As, in order to do this, he’s had to abandon King Arthur: as the latter is forced to the Plain of Camlann, to confront Morgana and Mordred’s army.
By outflanking them …
The last ever episode of Merlin will be on Christmas Eve, on BBC 1 at 8·15pm.
It’s going to be tight …
* I tend — and this is slightly iffy legal territory, sometimes, I know — to record TV series’ I like onto DVD, then use
Handbrakeº to copy it across — or rip — to my hard drive. Laws are relaxing on this, however: ESPECIALLY for personal use.
º Windoze users will need a copy of
Handbrake and DVD43 to do this.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
