Well I'm going to have to disagree. They may as well have had no gap at all. The thing is, if they covered the time jumps, there would not be episodes to tell with a traditional and engaging narrative. Think about it.. imagine, the 'up next' trailer for Episode 3. Morgana's captor Sarrum decides to throw Aithusa a piece of ham! They haven't had ham for a month! Or... Gwaine meets a new girl! But she decides to leave Camelot again.

I mean it'd only get interesting until the finale trailer, when we see Morgana escape, then there'd be action. But honestly, I'd rather there be no time jump at all than the time jump be explored in such a way.

Which is why I really hope Series 5 ends this year, and they explain the untold stories in movies. Maybe a narrative structure which tells stories from multiple periods at once, flashing back from each, but in a logical way in which they compliment each other. E.g. Vivienne and The Great Purge, to Morgana and Morgause, talking about her in the cave during the gap from Series 2 to Series 3 and Series 3 to Series 4.

I am actually fine with the time jumps? imo- as long as they are explained in movies later on. We'll get movie quality so it'll be better and those smaller details, like where the Southrons disappeared, should be explained!
