Uhm, you're right, it sounds like an execution. Admittedly, this wasn't my intention. On the other hand, I can't enjoy the story anymore when the plotholes and the lack of logic are much too obvious. I never nitpicked on shows and I always overlooked mistakes, but here it's too much, because the entire season is built on such mistakes and it's always chaos, all the time. I want to believe the story and I want to believe what the characters do and think. But I can't anymore, it always feels as if it was a whole new show each week.

However, I've added what I liked on this epsiode.

I agree with you, meanwhile I don't care either who dies and who lives. We already know that death only means a new form of existence on "Merlin" and that there is no redemption and no mercy after all, that the characters are divided into good and evil, that almost everyone has to suffer and won't find peace, not even in death, that people keep coming back and that, no matter what they do and feel in life has no meaning in the afterlife anymore. It's all about failure and misery and the characters have developed into unsympathetic and unbelievable caricatures of themselves. That's why I only feel for Aithusa and really don't care about the rest.
