The BBC Merlin writers created a whole show centered around two men who are two sides of the same coin, destined to be together forever, bound by ancient prophecy...AND THEN expected us to view their relationship as purely professional workplace dynamics. Be serious!!!!
THE FASTEST RAP IN CAMELOT HISTORY - Merlin: Do you think, I sit around doing nothing? I haven't had chance to sit around and do nothing since the day I arrived in Camelot, I'm too busy running around after Arthur. "Do this Merlin. Do that Merlin." And when I'm not running around after Arthur I'm doing chores for you, and if I'm not doing that I'm fulfilling my destiny. Do you know, how many times I've saved Arthur's life? I've lost count. Do I get any thanks? No. I have fought Griffins, Witches, uh..Bandits. I have been punched, poisoned, pelted with fruit and all the while I have to hide who I really am because if anyone finds out Uther will have me executed. Sometimes I feel like I'm being pulled in so many directions I don't know which way to turn!
@Mamax2x2 Perfectly said! The shift in his body language and energy between Series 1 and 3 shows just how brilliant Colin is. He gave Leo so many layered, human heartbeats.
Whoβs ready for some screenshots time again. Watching Colin in Parked he had so many facial expressions and movements that it was hard to choose; so I didnβt. Tune in tomorrow for a run down through the film.
@rysfaller This is such a beautiful and heartfelt tribute. Mothers like her leave a mark on our hearts that time can never erase. Holding you in my thoughts, friend.
