I agree. But there are advantages to only having 13 in a series too. In America we get 26 every season, but we have outragously long breaks in the middle usually around christmastime, right now i'm waiting for gLee, and bones to air again, which R 2 of my fav shows. (It's been 2 months for Bones! and there is still a month to go for gLee!) I also think they should exclude meaningless episodes like Lamia, Beauty and the Beast, the Changeling, and theone w Lady vivanne. I also think the Sins of the Father was useless too except for introducing Morgause, since in the end nothing actually moved forward or changed. (Merlin episode= suspense builinding... suspense building... excitement high...anticipation...plot unfolding... SCREECHES TO STOP and PRESSES RESET BUTTON. No reveal, no nothing!) I actually think i would have loved Lamia if these things were changed. 1) Lamia should have looked more like medusa rather than a krakken or an alien form outer space.Not only would it have been an easier CGI and more believable, but the fight would have been epic if Lamia was still more human so it could be btwn 2 characters instead of a man vs a creature. 2) gwen should have learned about merlins magic. 3) merlin should have got "kissed" by Lamia because i'm weird and i enjoy Merlinwhump! (as long as he gets better in the end) Etc. Etc.
