20. Oblivious Arthur
So many memes, so little time! BecauseMerlin is just simply always in the tavern, and no, Arthur, obviously he doesn’t have magic. Sometimes we worry that all those knocks to the head really has rattled his brain…
19. Dragoon the Great
In legends, Merlin is an old man while Arthur is a boy, and the show pays homage to this whenever Merlin transforms himself into the grumpy old Dragoon – Colin Morgan is absolutely hilarious in the role, and it’s the only chance Merlin gets to really speak his mind to the other characters.
18. The Merlin Game
Few TV shows actually have games that stay true to the story and characters, butMerlin does. From the quests, to the characters, to the dialogue, this game is jam-packed with Merlin goodness that will last long after the series finale, and we’re very thankful for that!17. The Round Table
One of the most iconic images from Arthurian legends is the round table. Is there anyone who didn’t squeal in nerdy delight when it was first shown in “The Coming of Arthur – Part 2”? It would be an entire season before we would get to see the real, proper round table of Camelot, but it was well worth the wait to see Arthur, his Queen, and his knights hold council at their legendary table.16. The blooper reels
We love seeing how much fun the actors in our favorite shows have while filming, and the chemistry of the Merlin cast is obvious from the blooper reels. We love Tony Head’s giggling, Bradley James’ crazy faces, and whenever somebody falls over!
15. Gwaine
The hair, the beard, the swagger… is there anything not to love (or swoon over) about this character? It is no wonder that when Gwaine entered the show swords blazing he instantly cemented himself as a favorite in the hearts of the fans.14. One word: Dolma
Just when you think Colin Morgan can’t get any better, he goes and pulls off a hilariously spectacular performance as Dolma. We’re pretty sure Colin’s portrayal of the old, rather sassy sorceress will go down in Merlin history as a fan favorite, and in our opinion, it was even more awkwardly hilarious than the Dragoon scenes.13. Alexander Vlahos as Mordred
Asa Butterfield’s Mordred was the perfect blend of cute and creepy. But Alexander Vlahos has blown us away with his performance in series 5 of Merlin, and we wish he’d been included earlier so we could have seen much more of him. Here’s to that Mordred: The Lost Years spin-off, eh?!
12. Morgana’s evil smirk
We love evil Morgana and her crazy hair, but when she turned evil, it was a sad day for us all – until we realized that it meant a season of Katie McGrath smirking evilly at the camera every time a scene ended. “Hey guys,” she seemed to say with her narrowed eyes, “in case you missed the memo, I’M EVIL NOW, KK?” Good times.11. How Arthur loves too much
