She's kind of a bit power hungry now and she just wants - she wants power for herself and she wants the throne and she wants it all for her. Merlin knows that if magic part of you then you choose where to pick it. I think that Merlin's definitely come to that conclusion. I think variety is the spice of life and getting a chance to place yourself in all directions, where there is a complexity that I enjoy the most.Īt this point does Merlin believe Morgana is beyond redemption or does he still hope that he can save her from her dark destiny to be her greatest enemy?Ĭolin Morgan: No, she's beyond redemption. What is your favorite Merlin to play? Is it the sort of clumsy funny Merlin or the dramatic Merlin or that great Dragoon Merlin?Ĭolin Morgan: I would say it's the variety that I like. Because as things very quickly change and Arthur gains more responsibility and it's exactly what Merlin should be. It's about Merlin trying to regain that position to try to get by Arthur's side to be there for him and to get him to make the right decisions. And Merlin very quickly kind of sort of aggravates the situation. There's a new character called Agravaine who's Arthur's uncle who goes on the scene who very quickly he realizes he's not all that he seems. And in the fourth season we see them grow apart a little bit actually. It's very much about bringing Arthur to the point that is fit for him and that he's fit for himself.

Can you talk a little bit about how we're going to see that grow and change over the course of season four?Ĭolin Morgan: Yes I mean it's one of the most iconic relationships in history. One of the big draws for our readers and I guess for a lot of Merlin viewers is Merlin and Arthur's relationship. There's always an element of fun to them. As dark as the stories go they never go in the realm of complete darkness. There's a huge thing between them, kind of halfway sort of towards the end of the season which is going to be very difficult to repair.īecause it is a lot darker and everything, does that present new challenges for the actors or the writers? Is that harder to sort of work in the humor that you guys always get in there?Ĭolin Morgan: Well what's great this season is that it struck a really good balance. But really this series a lot of things have broken up, certainly about that trio of Arthur to Gwen and Merlin. So I mean there's a huge amount of respect and loyalty among the three of them.

And Gwen's a great friend of Merlin's also. Then Gwen is probably the right person for that.

And it's Merlin's destiny to ensure that Arthur becomes the greatest king, you know, the king of the land. They want to know if you can compare Merlin's friendship with both Arthur and Gwen.Ĭolin Morgan: Arthur and Gwen are destined to see the future of the king and queen.
