You got confused because you have been reading so much on the old Authurian legends. This show Merlin is not based on the Authurian legend. This show takes smaller versions of the legends but it is not largely based on the old legends. Merlin is a new version of the old legends, a new retelling of the old Authurian legend to suit the 21st Century generation. The BBC are writing and doing their own version of the legend.
