Merlin on Video
A quick post to catch up to date. The popular series Merlin finished its five-year run earlier this year. The complete series is now available to own on DVD, Blu-Ray, and instant video. The following images are the front and back covers of the DVD release. I assume the Blu-Ray includes the same extras.

Early Avalon High Review
The following was posted on EW.com and featured in the 12 November 2010 edition of Entertainment Weekly:
Avalon High
Even by the standards of wholesome movies about teenage reincarnations of King Arthur's court, Avalon High is as silly as cutting down a tree with a herring. Nevertheless, Britt Robertson (Life Unexpected) is a capable lead and the New Zealand locales impress. B-— John Young
The telefilm airs Friday, 12 November, from 8-9:45 PM EST.

AVALON HIGH Telefilm Updates
The Disney Channel's Avalon High is now set to premiere on 12 November according to the following press release distributed online:
LEGEND LIVES ON AT AVALON HIGH
BRITT ROBERTSON AND GREGG SULKIN STAR IN DISNEY CHANNEL'S ORIGINAL MOVIE "AVALON HIGH," A MODERN DAY TWIST ON CAMELOT, PREMIERING FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12
"Avalon High," a new Disney Channel Original Movie that puts a contemporary twist on Arthurian legend, premieres FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel and Disney Mobile for Sprint TV, MobiTV and Flo TV. Starring Britt Robertson ("Life Unexpected") and Gregg Sulkin ("Wizards of Waverly Place," Disney Channel UK's "As the Bell Rings"), the movie is based upon the award-winning novel by best-selling author Meg Cabot ("The Princess Diaries"). It follows Allie, a transfer student to Avalon High, who discovers that her new classmates are reincarnations of King Arthur and his Court.
Beginning Friday, October 15, DisneyChannel.com invites users to participate in a weekly "Trivia Challenge" on Arthurian legend. Each week a new set of questions will be released leading up to the premiere. Players must complete all five weeks of trivia to earn virtual gems that will unlock a mystery game.
An exclusive preview of "Avalon High" will be available beginning Friday, November 5, on Disney Channel on Demand to a variety of affiliates including Cablevision, Time Warner and Verizon FiOS TV customers.
In "Avalon High," Allie Pennington is ecstatic when her parents, traveling professors, tell her she will be staying at Avalon High until she graduates. She can finally join the track team, make new friends and be a normal high school student. But shortly after arriving, Allie discovers that something strange may be afoot. While researching a term paper on King Arthur's legacy, she begins to notice some interesting parallels between the past and the present - from handsome quarterback Will, his cheerleader girlfriend, Jen, and their best friend, Lance, to Will's brooding step-brother, Marco, a quirky kid named Miles and football players who act like knights of the roundtable. The deeper Allie searches, the more convinced she is that her school is a contemporary Camelot, and it's up to her to solve the mystery of Avalon High before notorious traitor Mordred wins again.
The movie stars Britt Robertson as Allie Pennington, Gregg Sulkin as Will Wagner, Joey Pollari (Disney XD's "Skyrunners") as Miles, Devon Graye ("Dexter") as Marco, Molly Quinn ("Castle") as Jen, Chris Tavarez ("Big Momma's House 2") as Lance, Don Lake ("The Bonnie Hunt Show") as Allie's Dad and Steve Valentine ("I'm In The Band," "Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie," "Crossing Jordan") as Mr. Moore.
The teleplay, based upon the book written by Meg Cabot, was written by Julie Sherman Wolfe ("JONAS," "Phil of the Future") and Amy Talkington ("Confessions"). "Avalon High" was directed and co-produced by Stuart Gillard (Disney Channel's "Hatching Pete," "90210"); executive produced by Michael Jaffe ("The Informant!") and Howard Braunstein ("The Informant!") and produced by Janine Dickins ("Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior," "Power Rangers Operation Overdrive"). "Avalon High" is a production of Sudden Motion Productions, Inc. and Ranger Productions Ltd.
Disney Channel is a 24-hour kid-driven, family television network that taps into the world of kids and families through original series and movies. Currently available on basic cable in over 99 million U.S. homes and to millions of other viewers on Disney Channels around the world, Disney Channel is part of the Disney/ABC Television Group.

Avalon High pictures posted
The Disney Dreaming web site has a series of informal cast shots of the actors featured in the upcoming Disney Channel film Avalon High based on the best-selling young adult novel by Meg Cabot. Images can be accessed at http://www.disneydreaming.com/2010/07/31/disney-channel-avalon-high-pictures/.
According to the accompanying information, there also appears to be two new characters, Miles and Sean, being introduced but it is unknown at this time if they too are reincarnations of an Arthurian figure like A. William "Will" Wagner (Arthur), Elle Harrison (Lady of the Lake) (called Allie Pennington here), Lance (Lancelot) (now of African descent [like Guinevere in the BBC1's Merlin), Jenny (Guinevere) (called Jen here), Marco (Mordred), and Mr. Morton (Merlin) (called Mr. Moore here).

Merlin Marathon on Syfy
Cable network Syfy will air a Merlin marathon this Friday, 2 July 2010. Episodes (listed below) will consist of the full run of season two of the BBC1 series; season one has been released on Region 1 DVD, and episodes from both seasons can be downloaded from iTunes.
10:00 AM MERLIN, SEASON 2: THE CURSE OF CORNELIUS SIGAN
11:00 AM MERLIN, SEASON 2: THE ONCE AND FUTURE QUEEN
12:00 PM MERLIN, SEASON 2: THE NIGHTMARE BEGINS
01:00 PM MERLIN, SEASON 2: LANCELOT AND GUINEVERE
02:00 PM MERLIN, SEASON 2: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST - PART 1
03:00 PM MERLIN, SEASON 2: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST - PART 2
04:00 PM MERLIN, SEASON 2: THE WITCHFINDER
05:00 PM MERLIN, SEASON 2: THE SINS OF THE FATHER
06:00 PM MERLIN, SEASON 2: THE LADY OF THE LAKE
07:00 PM MERLIN, SEASON 2: SWEET DREAMS
08:00 PM MERLIN, SEASON 2: THE WITCH'S QUICKENING
09:00 PM MERLIN, SEASON 2: THE FIRES OF IDIRSHOLAS
10:00 PM MERLIN, SEASON 2: THE LAST DRAGONLORD
Merlin is an innovative program that presents the adventures of a teenaged Merlin (the young mage), Morgana (the troubled ward), Arthur (the young prince and heir apparent), Guinevere (Morgana's serving maid and of African descent), and Lancelot (a First Knightian version: common born but with aspirations from a better life) as they struggle with the over-bearing presence of King Uther Pendragon and his crusade against magic. Other figures from the legend are also present, though, as with the representation of the main cast, they often bear little resemblance to their legendary forebears. These include three magic-users--a prepubescent Mordred, Morgause (sister to Morgana), and Nimueh--and (surprisingly) Geoffrey of Monmouth as the royal librarian. Ygraine, Arthur's mother, has also made an appearance.
