Hi EmrysOfAlbion,

I don't know what caused you to react that way but I see where you're coming from. I have nothing against the producres or writers or against anyone involved in the show at all. And how could I, I don't even know them. I would never speculate or say anything against the real people in the real world just because dislike something on TV.

However, as a consumer of this show I have every right to criticise what I don't like. Since we all have different opinions, I may not like what some others love. Being an admin here or writing for the Merlin wiki doesn't mean that I have to agree with everything that is delieverd to us regarding the show. I still love the first three seaosons, it is my all time favourite show but I loathe season four with all my (TV-loving) heart. And in order to dislike something I watch on TV I don't need to produce or write a TV show myself ;-)

You are right, there are multiple users/fans here and elsewhere who don't agree with season four. That's the way it is with entertainment, you can't please everyone. But I do think that it is entirely possible to deliver stories that every fan can live with, so to speak. Its always risky to change something all of a sudden so drastically and if you do, you have to expect criticism. And the fact that there are so many fans out there who dislike what happened in season four speaks volumes.

I see no reason to hide what people don't like as long as it is presented in a civilised manner. It's also called feedback. Yes, the producers created a successful show and they succeeded with season four but that doesn't mean that have to like it. I am one of those who the show is presented to and I am also one of those who buy the stuff (like DVDs - just not season four), so I am naturally one of those who give the feedback and say what they like or dislike.

I'm sure the staff of Merlin is a group of nice and kind people, I have no reason to think otherwise. Nevertheless, I disliked season four and nothing can change that.

And honestly, nothing that I write will change anything ;-)
