I'm 14 min into the first episode of Merlin.
I'm still not hooked on it yet. Basically he's just frolicking about, witnesses an execution for magic use, some witch claims she'll avenge her son. The magic special effects seem descent for a 2008 TV show. He seems to have innate magic and doesn't need spells unlike others. Lol. It reminds me of some MCU!Loki fics where he's some super special mage with stronger magic than everyone else xD
Also, he's always like ^_^ or :D looking at his surroundings in a whimsical fashion. The warning about magic from the Gaius guy seems uncharacteristic of him, because Merlin seemed more careful about discussing his magic than he was in the beginning. Also, Merlin smiles at some sandwich he got from the guy and goes off to deliver medication.
And Morgana, who I often see as a fem!Loki fancast, was there. She does fit the vibe and she's pretty.
And there was some singer Lady in a sheer red tent that gets killed via poppet by the vengeful witch that takes her place.
Some guy drank the whole flask instead of the dose he was prescribed. LMAO.
