Storyline

The legend of King Arthur, this time, from the perspective of the King's Wizard, Merlin. Merlin is a creature born of pagan magic, living in a world converting to Christianity. Merlin is beside Arthur as he gains Excalibur, builds Camelot and is betrayed by his wife, Guinevere. Merlin and Arthur are both menaced by the plots of Morgan Le Fey, her son by Arthur, Mordred, and their cohorts. Through it all, Merlin tries to keep Arthur from the destructive path set by fate. Written by Michael "Rabbit" Hutchison <rabhutch@spacestar.net>

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Merlin defeats Queen Mab by telling the people to forget her, as she is entirely a legend. However, he proceeds to retell the story for years afterward, ensuring that she is remembered and preserving her legend. However, it is also possible that the story old Merlin retells actually doesn't contain Mab character at all - as Frik noticed, Merlin altered the true story when he retold it for children. So, we cannot be sure the story we saw during the movie and the story Merlin retells are the same. See more »
