Music-The Soundtrack
I just caught this on Sci-Fi Channel today after having not seen it in a few years. Listening to the music, specifically the scene where Merlin first breaks his oath to not use magic, by saving his girl from the dragon, the music is exactly the same from Dark City.
So I looked and saw that the score to Merlin is by Trevor Jones, the same who did Dark City. I think Jones probably got the job because of his work on the classic Excalibur film from the 80s.
Dark City and Merlin came out very close to each other, so I guess that's why the music is 99.9% identical. Just an observation.
