- TriviaAs the Lady of the Lake wanes in power throughout the story, with each sighting we see her "necklace of fish" reducing in number. Similarly, Queen Mab's hair grows grey as her power wanes. Merlin, being a mortal who contains magic within him, only wanes in appearance with the passage of time.
- GoofsAlthough clothes, architecture, etc. heavily imply a barely post-Roman (5th-6th centuries AD) setting, characters still use the terms England and Normandy, which aren't recorded before the 9th century. It would be more appropiate to refer to them respectively as Britain and Armorica or variations thereof.
- Alternate versionsThe televised version has scenes that are not on the video version and viceversa.

Featured review
interesting angle on the Arthur mythology
The Arthur legend has been done countless times, generally from the viewpoint of Arthur, but Merlin takes the rarely-used angle of Arthur's most trusted advisor. Also refreshing is the use of the conflict between Christianity and the previous, pagan religions to add a new take on the tales. The special effects are stunning, and they even coaxed a great performance out of Martin Short! Several such great achievements make this one of the best.
