User blog comment:LokiIsAwesome/Merlin should get more bloody/@comment-5364525-20120813033205/@comment-5139779-20120813065718

The transition between the lightness of Series 3 and the 'darkness' of Series 4 was utterly sudden, it all happened in Merlin's infamous 'time jumps'. And having the Dorocha in the opening two parter as the main enemy seems rather odd, whether if it's in mythology or not they sorta came out of nowhere. Darkness is traditionally and historically more bloody and it would seem logical that a PG show would produce nothing but pathetic darkness. I was just convinced that an MA rating on television would be going a little too far but an M rating would be perfect.
