We’ve got another fun-filled episode for all you Merlin fans this week! Join Pam, Patricia and Selina as they continue on with Talks of Camelot’s Merlin Rewatch series with a rehash of 01×03: “The Mark of Nimueh”!

show notes:
– New casting announcements for our favorite Merlin actors’ first post-Merlin roles are discussed in our weekly Merlin news round-up!
– We announce the winners of the MerlinGame contest! Pam, Selina and Patricia take turns doing dramatic readings for the two sets of dialogues which will be featured in the game.
– Pam leads us through our rehash of 01×03: “The Mark of Nimueh”
– Magic v. Science: Gaius and Merlin’s relationship is discussed in detail
– Is Merlin too reckless in his belief that Magic can solve everything? Is Gaius being too much of a worry wart when he tells Merlin magic isn’t the answer?
– Arthur’s stance on magic is discussed even further in reference to the when he accuses Gwen of sorcery
– Does Merlin not-so secretly hope Arthur will just find out about his magic? How would the series be different if Arthur had found out about Merlin’s magic in this episode?
– Merwen–we STILL can’t even with how adorable these two are! We delve into why this ship is so adorable and whether or not we think Gwen’s affections are one-sided
– Patricia highlights some of our favorite quotes from the episode; the hosts share their favorite (awkward) moment from 01×03
– We cap of the show with YOUR answers to our Valentine’s Day themed Question Of The Week: which Merlin character would make the BEST Valentine’s Day date and why?
– One listener’s response to this question reminds Selina and Pam about a VERY specific fan video!
– The hosts can’t let the listeners have all the fun and partake in a Merlin-themed Valentine’s Day fun segment of their own!

Did you know that Talks of Camelot recently launched it’s very own Tumblr?
