Merlin (TV series)/Characters: Difference between revisions

** [[I Did What I Had to Do]] / [[Kill the Ones You Love]] / [[Shoot the Dog]]: Merlin poisons Morgana -- who was unaware that she was the vessel of the Knights of Medhir -- because [[I Did What I Had to Do|he did what he had to do]] in order to save Camelot, but at the price of killing his friend and someone he cared about. Many fans, while praising the acting of Colin and Katie, did not agree with Merlin's actions.

*** It's actually lampshaded in a hilarious [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Ik_sSRo58&feature=related commentary in 2x12] between Colin and Katie discussing Merlin's eventual decision to kill Morgana, with Colin trying to defeat himself.

'''Colin Morgan:''' [[Crowning Moment of Funny|No, I kill loads of people. I kill at least one person an episode.]] }}

* [[Nice Guy]]

* [[Chick Magnet]]

** Although this is kind of lampshaded in the Series 1 Episode 2 DVD commentary for the scene where Merlin mentions that Arthur "gets all the girls":

* [[The Chosen One]]

* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]

* [[Manly Men Can Hunt]]: At least six episodes and one deleted scene involve him out hunting in the forest with Merlin or his knights, in fact it's a crucial part of ''The Labyrinth of Gedref'' and ''The Hunter's Heart''.

** And occasionally played for laughs:

'''Arthur:''' [[Rule of Funny|No, but it's good fun.]] }}

* [[Master of Delusion]]: He ''still'' doesn't suspect Merlin of magic. Not even a little bit.

* [[Oh Crap]]: {{spoiler|When he realizes Morgause is going to kill him, and there's nothing he can do about it}}

* [[Ship Tease]]: There seems to be ''something'' going on between Cenred and Morgause. According to Morgause, Cenred only wishes to please her.

'''Cenred:''' You wouldn't like it if I made it easy for you. }}

* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]
