It is tempting to agree with you but one of the things I find so fascinating with the series is that it's so irrational, just like we are in real life. If everything made sense or was explained or was what we expected and wanted to happen, wouldn't we have lost interest? I mean, if we'd been in Merlin's situation, with powerful forces insisting on opposite actions all conflicting with our own convictions and wishes....I think we'd make some dumb mistakes too. Which is why it's possible to sympathize with the characters and their foolishness. Or...?
