Series 5 episode 13 - my problem scene
My apologies for this very late post.
One scene from the last ever episode has been worrying me for ages, so now I have got round to asking for your confirmation or not as the case maybe.

Hagia Sophia
Hagia Sophia, a former basilica and mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, must be our most exotic Merlin Location ever!
how it's used in Merlin
The episode 504 Another's Sorrow opens in the kingdom of Nemeth, home of Camelot's allies King Rodor and his daughter Princess Mithian. The evil King Odin and Morgana have taken control of the kingdom; they ( Read more... ) -
Merlin | the episode titles
OK, I think I went a bit mad this week - but not without a bit of enabling from others! (I don't know if that's meant to excuse it or not... :-)
Anyway, I started compiling a list of all the literary allusions and some possible meanings for the episode titles throughout the five seasons of Merlin, and it all quickly got out of hand. You can find ( Read more... ) -
Cannop Ponds | revisited once more
During our recent post-513 pilgrimage, my stalwart husband and I returned yet again to Cannop Ponds, armed with screen captures from episode 504 Another's Sorrow. I'm sure you all remember how Mithian warned Merlin about Hilda really being Morgana, by sending him down to the stream to fill her waterskin, where he found Morgana's name scratched on a ( Read more... ) -
King Arthur's Cave
There is a place named King Arthur's Cave near Symonds Yat in the Wye Valley. And with a name like that, of course I was going to visit! I did so way back in October 2009. You can guess how thrilled I was when they finally actually used the cave as a Merlin Location!

Symonds Yat Rock

how it's used in Merlin
Morgana has a new place in which to hang out from episode 510 The Kindness of Strangers onwards. We first see this ruined castle when Morgana deals with the ( Read more... ) -

anatomy of a scene | The Diamond of the Day
I hardly have the heart to do this in much detail - and maybe some fans won't be ready for such analysis - but this is an overview of how our beloved Merlin peeps built Avalon for the final episode. A few different locations were used, and different places within those locations, so it's certainly generated some confusion and discussion. This is ( Read more... ) -
Huntsham Court Farm
The very last scene in the very last episode of Merlin {sniff} was filmed in the road that runs past Huntsham Court Farm in the Wye Valley. It is a great choice for such an iconic scene.

locations: ep 513 The Diamond of the Day, Part Two
This episode. Too epic. I cried, I laughed thrice, I loved, I cried some more. I loved it all so much. And I just couldn't even cope with doing a locations post before now. Sorry!
