Im working on a website now. I'm open to any suggestions and opinions. I've still got plenty of tweaking to do with the website. landunderhill.angelfire.com/

I like it! Layout's nice, as is the background picture. A few things I guess could be improved is the presentation on the DVD page- the pictures and their headings are a bit crammed together, maybe you could spread them out a bit? Also, maybe you could write a slightly longer description of the site that you're linking to, on the Links page, and maybe include a link to the wikipedia entry for Merlin, rather than just naming Wikipedia as a useful resource. But it's certainly looking good so far. Good luck with it ;D

I really like the site. It's looking very nice for still being 'under construction'. What you could do is to give short plot infos for a) the movie (yes, I know, most of us know it by heart, but there might still be potential converts out there) and b) the books. Maybe you could have a 'characters' section, or a page with the best quotes. I realise that these suggestions mean a lot of work, but I'm sure pretty much everybody on here would be more than willing to help with writing character info, summaries or collecting their favourite quotes from movie and books.
And what I miss most severely is a guest book! But other than that: Me loves!!

I think your page is coming along nicely though I do agree with Incapa's comment about the Character's page. Also a possible graphics section with icons and sigs might be another interesting addition to the site. Other than that I love it ^^.

The page looks lovely! Maybe some links to your videos or sited fanworks would give it some added spice, but I do love it.
And I got my script on Amazon.com.

I've got a guestbook up now that you guys can sign if you want. I've started characters and fanworks pages with more stuff on the way. Thanks for all the good ideas!

the stupidest things merlin has ever done, said, or thought list: feel free to add
these are all from bk2
1. Merlin took Excalibur and walked over to the foot of a cliff. The magic all around him made the sword sing to him softly - a seductive song that made him long, momentarily, for what might have been. If only Mab had been a good queen who cared for her people, he would have ruled happily as her champion, guiding the people in the Old Ways in her Triple Name. I was not aware that Mab wasn't a good queen to her people. pg105
Once more Nimue stopped and looked at him. "Don't do it for my sake, Merlin. To spend your life on revenge is a waste." It isn't revenge I seek, but justice - for Elissa, for Ambrosia, for you. *cough* revenge *cough* pg112
For a moment Merlin thought of Mab and her plots, but for the life of him he did not see how Uther's destruction could benefit the Old Ways. pg124 Is Merlin as dense as lead? of course it would benefit the Old Ways since Mab would be getting rid of a Christian king.

Frik lied to Morgan about teaching her magic. Maybe he's able to lie because is a gnome not a sídhe like Mab? Why are only sídhe not allowed to lie? Is the air element supposed to be more truthful. I think it would be deceiving in the way air changes directions at any time.

I have noticed that Frik lied to Morgan but like an oaf never remembered that Mab couldn't lie and he could. Does it specify in the book that Mab cannot lie? I don't remember. . .

I don't remember either. I'm almost done with the second book and then I'll go through the third book. So far I havn't come across anything that says Mab can't lie, but I havn't come across any event where she actually did lie.
:-/and that's not cool cause there goes my proof that Mab wasn't lying to Merlin when she said she loved him at the end. I think she meant it, but there's no proof if she is able to lie.

Well, there was only the fact that "her kind" can't lie... *can't remember the exact passage*

The passage appears at the end of the third book, after she calls out to Merlin and says she loves him- it said something like "The Fair Folk couldn't lie. Perhaps what she said was the truth, or at least A truth. It didn't matter. Mab had destroyed Merlin's ability to love her long ago, it was the greatest of the many evils she had done him."
Frik could obviously lie, yes, so, being as the matter in the book is observed specifically in relation to Mab, I've always understood that it's something in relation to her, whether the elemental kings - Puddles, Loke (in fandom), Mountain King, etc- which is what I usually assume, or perhaps just those creatures related to the air element *shrugs*

WELL, WASn;t FRINK *her kind* as well. an in the kind of Fairy?... That would mean he can;t lie either.. :S
*shall edit later*
EDIT: (ok, this one was pretty coherent... but here's the "translation," anyway)
Well, wasn't Frik "her kind" as well, as in the kind of the Fairy?... That would mean he can't lie either...

Well Frik is a gnome, as I recall. As for Frink... I have no idea.
