Sort of ruins the magic a bit when you realize Merlin is actually running away from a PA with a tennis ball on a stick rather than a dragon, or that Arthur gets regular pedicures between takes.
Granted, if you could suspend reality to such a degree that you forget this is a show -- you might also be a fan of professional wrestling.
...me too.
Merlin airs Fridays at 10/9 C on Syfy.
