New Trailer!
Nov. 9th, 2013 06:08 am...not really spoilery, but it does show stuff from the actual episode, as opposed to the earlier one, so as I don't want to be a hypocrite after my earlier complaint, I'll put it under a cut.
The oddest thing about to me was hearing John Hurt's voice, because it gave me Kilgarrah flashbacks. (Given the sheer number of roles I've seen him in, it shouldn't, but there you go - the dragon it is. Less weird than Caligula flashbacks, I suppose!) Given the fact that Merlin and the Whoverse used a couple of the same actors, most obviously Colin Morgan himself on Doctor Who, I'm still sulking we didn't get one of the Doctors on Merlin. (Personally, I was rooting for David Tennant as the ghost of Gorlois.) Now I know there are a couple of Merlin/DW crossovers in fanfic, but I don't think any of them starred the dragon as opposed to starring the wizard. As soon as we know more about just what happened to John Hurt's regeneration, I'm wondering whether a plot where he got splintered in time (as Clara was in the s7 finale, and the Doctor did go after her) and ended up as a dragon in ahistorical Albion is workable. :)
