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 people comment. 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 adult. 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.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
