I don't know who is to blame for the outcome. Julian Jones used to be my favourite writer on Merlin but even his scripts turned weird in season four and five. I believe that the writers have to deliver a script that pleases the show runners. When they wanted it more dark and when there was a particular ending for each story and then the entire show, the writers probably had to deal with it. No idea how much freedom they have on this all. In my opinion it's all teamwork, and even though differences in character descriptions between some writers and Howard Overman were very obvious in season two already,  in the end it probably all comes down to what the producers want. But who knows?
