Merlin (1998)	comment	Merlin is a television miniseries from Hallmark Entertainment released in 1998 that retells the legend of King Arthur from the perspective of the wizard Merlin. The series stars Sam Neill in the title role, Miranda Richardson as the antagonist Queen Mab, Martin Short as her henchman Frik, Isabella Rossellini as Nimue and Helena Bonham Carter as Morgan le Fay.The story covers not only the rise and fall of Camelot, but the phase in the legendary history in Britain that precedes it. Unlike the traditional version where he suffers from Mentor Occupational Hazard, Merlin stays active throughout the entire reign of King Arthur, with some details altered to fit the story more from his point of view.The series is also influenced by other Celtic/European legends and folklore. It introduces Queen Mab, a fairy first attested in Romeo and Juliet, as the leader of The Fair Folk and the Big Bad of the Arthurian legend who manipulates traditional villains Morgan le Fay and Mordred. Other magical creatures like gnomes, griffins and even a talking mountain appear.The series was followed by a novelization in the form of a trilogy in 1999. In 2006 it received a sequel, Merlin's Apprentice, which had less to do with traditional Arthurian legend, had some Continuity Snarls and was not as popular as the first movie.Not related to the 2008 series of the same name, besides the source material.

Unless Merlin somehow figured out how to "conveniently leave out" the part where he got his head chopped off and died, not even that can make Merlin's Apprentice fit continuity.

Merlin (1998) / int_1869b4b1	comment	Unreliable Narrator: According to Frik, and by Merlin's own admission, a few things were omitted from the story. Merlin claims he didn't think anyone would believe it if they heard it the way it really happened. Some observers have used this theory to allow the sequel Merlain's Apprentice to fit into continuity. Whether this is Fan Wank or not is open to interpretation. Unless Merlin somehow figured out how to "conveniently leave out" the part where he got his head chopped off and died, not even that can make Merlin's Apprentice fit continuity. The novelization clears this up, we are seeing the story as it really happened in Merlin's memories, the story Merlin is telling his audience is leaving out a significant detail, Queen Mab, so as not to undo the Unperson gambit that caused her death.

Merlin (1998) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: The few references to Queen Mab in English literature make her out as a benevolent fairy queen. Here, she is a dark pagan goddess (the counterpart of the good pagan goddess, the Lady of the Lake). It is justified though, as Mab is driven to using unscrupulous means to try and save herself and the other Fair Folk. Ambrosia even mentions that Mab used to be loving and benevolent, but that her desire to survive has made her cold and without love in her heart. Also King Constant, when he appears at all, is usually a good king in Arthurian stories.

When Merlin tells Uther his selfish lust will lead to war, Uther confidently tells him "so be it, I have Excalibur" - prompting Merlin to take it away and drive it into The Stone. As Merlin leaves Uther's son King Arthur while he is preparing for another war, Arthur hopefully tells him not to worry; "I've still got Excalibur". Merlin's only response is to blink and walk away.

Merlin (1998) / int_259d5879	type	Anachronism Stew
Merlin (1998) / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: The setting is closer to the period of the late Roman Empire than most adaptations of the legend, with Iron Age costumes, armor and weapons. However, the terms "knight" and "Sir" are still used. The setting is called "England" too early, as the term came into being after the Anglo-Saxons were established as the dominant power in the British Isles instead of the Britons or Celts (now the Welsh). The Saxons are here only stated to be recent arrivals. Normandy is also mentioned as the place where Uther gathers his armies against Vortigern. The area gained this name only after year 911, when the Viking Chieftain Rollo was granted the lands to protect them from the rest of the marauding Norsemen. Not unlike Aladdin's Genie, some of Frik's disguises seem to reflect the future; for example, his dashing swashbuckler-character wears 18th-century clothes and wields a smallsword (yes, a smallsword, not "a small sword") that isn't going to be invented in centuries. But then, Mab does mention that the fairykind sometimes see into the future. One of the doctors/astrologers mentions the planet Uranus, which wasn't discovered until 1781.

Merlin comments about how his largest problem with judging men was that he always expected too much from them and always saw the good in them without seeing the bad. Later, the Lady of the Lake makes a short speech to Merlin after he learned that he picked the wrong person to be the guardian of Camelot. "It's human to make mistakes, Merlin, and part of you is human...the best part." When Merlin asks the Rock of Ages to hold Excalibur "until a good man comes to take it from you," the Mountain King says, "Then I will be holding it forever...if not longer." Arthur manages to impress him enough to take it, many years later.

Elissa dies in childbirth, and Merlin's adoptive mother Ambrosia is later killed by Mab.

Merlin (1998) / int_3fe2b13f	comment	Ungrateful Bastard: The kings of Britain have a serious tendency to mistreat their allies and vassals in spite of loyal service. Vortigern takes Nimue captive on the suspicion that her father might possibly betray him to Uther, despite him being nothing but loyal and pledging his entire army to Vortigern's service. After Merlin shows him why his castle kept collapsing, Vortigern rewarded him by knocking him out and throwing him in a cramped dungeon, only releasing him when he became so ill that Vortigern worried he might die, which Vortigern didn't want...because Merlin hadn't finished giving him a prophecy that might help Vortigern defeat Uther. Uther, likewise, betrays one of the dukes who helped him defeat Vortigern and become king, simply because he wanted Cornwall's wife for himself. When Merlin helps him get Igraine without combat (in order to stop him from killing hundreds more in his siege of Tintagel), Uther betrays Merlin's request and has Cornwall and his men killed anyway. Because he didn't immediately hand over his wife to Uther, apparently.

Merlin (1998) / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: It's not clear what, exactly, the stone in the crib actually did other than ominous foreshadowing and an excuse to spend more time with child Morgan le Fay. Its purpose was explained more thoroughly in the novelization. (It cursed Arthur with impulsiveness, which ultimately led to his ill-fated quest for the Holy Grail, and thus Guinevere's affair with Lancelot.) The purpose of the magical tear Mab gives to Vortigern is also left unanswered; although in this case, it's because Vortigern himself had rejected the aid of magic in his battle against Uther and Merlin, believing only in his own ability to win. It's implied that it protects him from harm. At one point, several of Uther's soldiers mob him, drag him off his horse, and stab him repeatedly with daggers. He survives it, presumably due to the tear. Merlin dropping him in the lake is fatal, either to the mystical nature of Excalibur or because the tear's protection is limited.

However, it turns out, Merlin picked the wrong knight, and it was actually Lancelot's son Galahad who would have been the perfect knight, with the result that Lancelot only makes things worse with his adulterous relationship with Guinevere.

Merlin (1998) / int_a00c13e0	comment	Awesome Moment of Crowning: Vortigern makes a horrible subversion early on, by beheading King Constant, picking up the crown and putting it on his own head while smiling in a prideful, self-satisfied way as his soldiers cheer. Uther later delivers a more true moment - although it, too, is undercut by Merlin's voiceover, and it is when he first sees and lusts for Igraine. Curiously averted with Arthur who is not actually crowned onscreen, but has an Awesome Moment of Recognition instead - he draws Excalibur from the stone, Merlin presents him to the lords, then the film cuts to gathering armies because some lords have challenged him for the throne. But Arthur averts a war by giving their leader Excalibur to strike him down if he can. The rebel leader feels the magic of the sword and declares Arthur to be the true king, leading to cheers and embraces all around.

At the duress of Mab, yeah, but it's the thought that counts. Then, towards the end, Nimue is the one who ends up trapped by magic in a cave. Finally, an aged Merlin comes back to Nimue and uses the last of his magic to restore their youth so they can live happily ever after.

Merlin (1998) / int_e4965307	comment	Composite Character: As in many adaptations, Morgan le Fay is a composite of the legendary sorceress of that name and Morgause, Morgan's sister who is the mother of Mordred in the Arthurian Cycle. Every one of Morgan's defining aspects in medieval tradition (her healing powers, her magical studies under Merlin, her unhappy marriage to King Urien and the resulting lovers she takes from among the knights of Camelot, her rule over the magical island of Avalon and her taking of Arthur there after the Battle of Camlann) are gone. The character is really Morgause in all but name. Lancelot's wife Elaine also counts, as she has traits of two women from Arthurian Mythology who were both named Elaine. On the one hand, she's Lancelot's wife (Elaine of Corbenic) and on the other, she's given the fate of the other Elaine (The Lady of Shalott) what with her vision of Lancelot in a magic mirror and her body floating past Camelot on a funeral barge.

Merlin (1998) / int_fb6b207f	type	You Killed My Father
Merlin (1998) / int_fb6b207f	comment	You Killed My Father: Thanks to her ruthless policies, Mab manages to give Merlin three separate excuses to go against her, all relating to her harming the people he loves. Uther wish to kill Vortigern who killed his father and Morgan hates Uther because he killed her father.

Merlin (1998) / int_fdf4572b	type	Dialogue Reversal
Merlin (1998) / int_fdf4572b	comment	Dialogue Reversal: Played for a laugh. Merlin is asked by Morgan Le Fay, eight years old at the time, to show her a magical effect. He performs a coin-behind-the-ear trick. Morgan Le Faye says it isn't real magic, which it usually wouldn't be, and Merlin challenges her to perform it. When she is successful, Merlin's response to her success is to admit: "you're right, anyone could do it." Interestingly, calling Merlin's coin "just a trick" is itself a Meaningful Echo of his explanation of the moon trick to Nimue.

Merlin (1998) / int_fe614133	comment	Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Very, very strongly averted when Nimue is disfigured with an enormous scar across her face that Merlin cannot heal, after narrowly escaping a dragon. Ouch.

Merlin (1998) / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: It's buried deep, but Mab seems to have legitimate familial feelings for both Merlin and Mordred. Likewise for Mordred toward "Auntie Mab."
