Ditto.

"Her character is boring, dull, too perfect and useless." Actually one of the reasons I liked Gwen is because she is an ordinary, simple, person that has had the power of influence on the others in such a quiet but powerful way. I think the show needed that grounding, realistic, ordinary goodness in the midst of all these strong, heroic figures.

Yes, some of the bloggers get really carried away in their dislike of Gwen, but when they do I just can't take them seriously and roll my eyes. Critically analyzing a show is a good thing, but going on and on like the samples you posted above do is silly. Who is prettier, "chemistry", "sexyness" is trivial. The heart is what matters, who the person is, their personality, goodness of character. And Arthur chose Gwen. Arthur kissed Vivian more passionately? Um, I think that's the point. Arthur loves, cherishes, and respects Gwen not just lusts after her.

"And I'm tired of people blaming Kilgarrah and Merlin for everything." Yes, yes. The worst is people blaming Merlin for Morgana turning evil. I never understood that one. Merlin was perfectly within his rights to withhold that he also had magic from Morgana. People don't just go around blabbing personal information. Highly dangerous, explosive, life threatening personal information. Yes, he wanted to; that's why his character is so lovable in my opinion. But in the end he chose not to. That his decision was influenced by Gaius and the dragon is beside the point. Would Morgana have turned out differently if he would have told her? Maybe, maybe not. I can see her turning out the same exact way if Merlin had told her. Morgana made her own decisions.
