katikat | Eoin Macken cast in an NBC show

Looks like Merlin really is ending in its current form - or most of the knights will be killed off in future episodes, that's a possibility too, true. Not only was Tim Hopper (Percival) cast as a regular in Black Sails, Eoin Macken (Gwaine) now got the lead part in NBC's After Hours. As Deadline.com says, the show "revolves around the graveyard shift in the ER at San Antonio Medical Center. It centers on TC Callahan (Macken), who has returned from the Army to practice his unorthodox brand of medicine, often butting heads with his superiors." I'm not into shows about doctors but this one might be interesting, if picked up, to see an army doctor used to practicing medicine in combat situations return back to normal life... Hm. And with Eoin Macken... Gwaine is my favorite knight and Eoin is simply gorgeous!

So, the end of Merlin, huh? I haven't been always a big fan, some parts of the show turn me off - I'm looking at you, wounded-doe-martyr!Gwen! - but this will be the end of an era, that's true, just like when Stargate or Smallville or House ended, shows that you got used to just being THERE...
