Just saw that the Js are leaving Shine...

Good grief, why couldn't they have done that three years ago??

Probably the reason Merlin isn't coming back for another series. They want to do their own thing - so they made it impossible for BBC to carry on with Merlin. Bastards.

[corilannam]

Yes, because God forbid they should let someone else take over and maybe do a better job. Or maybe no one else wanted it after they wrote themselves into so many corners.

Hell, I could write them out of the corners they'd put themselves into. You could. Any number of us could and do a better job.

I just wish they weren't taking Merlin with them. It could do great things in other hands. :(

[edit] - wait, they're not taking Merlin with them, sorry I read it wrong. Well, that's something - at least they wouldn't be involved with any spin-offs. Not that there's likely to be any, but. *clutches at straws*

No, from everything I'm reading, it sounds like the cast is well and truly done with Merlin, and I can't blame them. I'll still hold out a smidgen of hope for a movie at some point with different writers, but I guess that'll depend on where they leave the series finale.
