Hi Alfons that is alright right if you were busy I understand it happens. As for the questions/topics on the other thread were one how during the shows run the cast members had little to no input and influence over there characters. An the other question was about how the show dealt with the Merlin and Arthurian Legend overall along with adapting the Legend to there own mythology. The threads called The Aftermath of Merlin I put a link below for you to help you out and for future reference as well.

An glad to hear you like the point I brought up about Series 2 and how that should of been the Series were they started to make big changes in the overall show. An Series 4 and 5 did have a lot of previously repetitive story line and events that we already seen before on the show. An also a lot of the time during Series 4 and 5 but most recently with 5 the story lines felt overall at least to me very rushed at least a good amount of them maybe not all. Then again that be stated as well for a lot of story lines during the entire run of the show overall. An yet at the same time they had some that simply took forever and to long to get finished.

One thing I like to point out about those 2-Episodes I mentioned on how those certain episodes could of real made a big huge impact and change over the show is how some of the events of those episodes real should of ended. With The Nightmare Begins Merlin and Morgana Episode for example that episode should of end with such story ideas of Merlin telling Morgana he has Magic, a possible romance between Merlin and Morgana or simply in the end Merlin and Morgana's overall friendship becomes stronger even along the lines of Merlin and Arthur's friendship on the show. I mean even if they still went down the road of making Morgana the villain it would of made for a great overall story if they used anyone or all three of those story ideas instead of simply having Morgana become the villain because she hates Uther. I mean the original reason for Morgana becoming the villain which mind was how Katie McGrath herself always described her was because she was trying to fight for the rights and freedom for people with Magic. That reason was a great reason for her to become the villain of the show. The reason for the show ended up using of her being absolutely consumed by rage, hate, wanting to kill Uther, Arthur and always wanting the throne of Camelot were just awful in the end and hurt her character. An mind you this is coming from a fan of Morgana and Katie McGarth.

Now with The Sins of The Father episode that should of ended with Arthur one learning the truth about his birth and his mother death which is the big one. But also he should of had a new view of Magic not necessarily accepting it with open arms but not having the same view of it like his father does. An last Arthur should of also started not to fully trust and have complete faith in everything his father says because the knowledge of knowing his father lied about his birth and his mothers death should give him a different view of his father going forward in the story.

In the end those are 2-episodes of Series 2 that real stuck out to me as episode that should of real brought absolutely big huge change to the show overall. An with those changes could of given the show and its characters great stories going forward in 3, 4 and 5.
