The first episode of our Merlin rewatch is finally here by popular demand! Join the ladies of Hype Podcast as we take a deep dive into Merlin’s memorable pilot, “The Dragon’s Call.”
Welcome to the first episode of our Merlin rewatch! If you’ve been following along on our weekly regular show, you’ll know taking a deep dive into BBC’s beloved Arthurian Legend series (just like we’ve done with Gilmore Girls and The 100 is something we’ve been wanting to do for awhile.
As with our past rewatch specials, we want to remind you that despite the fact that Selina and Pam have both already seen the series in full, all of our episodes will be spoiler free! That means if you’re watching along for the first time with us, we we won’t be discussing anything that happens past the episode(s) we’re highlighting in each installment of our Merlin rewatch series.
For our first Merlin special, Pam and Selina take a deep dive into the series’ pilot, “The Dragon’s Call!”
SHOW NOTES
We kick things off by explaining how this rewatch will work— it’s a bit different than the ones we’ve done in the past!
Selina and Pam share their Merlin origin stories and reminisce on the first time they watched the series
We talk about the key players we’re introduced to in the pilot, which include Merlin, Arthur, Gwen, Morgana, Gaius, and Uther.
Merlin’s magic is a source of much discussion, as is why Hunith thought to send her son to the one place he’s most in danger.
We also discuss Merlin and Arthur’s iconic first (and second!) meeting in Camelot!
Do we trust the dragon and his ominous talk of destiny? Do we trust Uther and his harsh stance on magic?
Gwen and Merlin: we ship it— don’t @ us!
Why did Merlin save Arthur? WAs it free will or destiny?
We wrap things up by sharing some of our favorites from the episode, including favorite scene and favorite line!
Selina also hits us with some fun facts about the episode!
Finally, we read your thoughts in our listener feedback section!
In our next installment of our Merlin rewatch, Selina and Pam will be discussing season 1, episodes 2 and 3. If you have any thoughts about our pilot discussion, or on the next two episodes of the series, be sure to send them our way!

This week, Hype Podcast calls YOU, the listeners, to hear how you’re hyping in 2018!
Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a wonderful New Year’s Eve and have entered 2018 in style.
To celebrate another year of pop culture, this week’s show is a call-in special, where Selina and Pam talk to a bunch of listeners about their favorite pieces of entertainment from 2017 and what they’re looking forward to in 2018.
We begin this show with a little How We Hype, and then we talk to listeners Laura, Jannik, Jasmine, Ning Xi and The Lady Ash.
Note that the audio is of a little lower quality than what you’ve come to expect from us — this was unavoidable, because we had to record the conversation differently in order to take calls. It’ll be back to its usual standard next week.
Thank you to everyone who called in and chatted with us, it is always wonderful to hear from listeners. Stay tuned for more opportunities like this in the future, and don’t forget you can always write into the show in all the usual ways: leave a comment on this post, tweet us @HypableHYPE, and/or email [email protected].
