User blog comment:Rod12/The Show's Version of Lancelot/@comment-4062486-20120113012607

I agree with you. Since Lancelot is one of the main characters in the Arthurian legend I was surprised he didn't have a bigger role in this series. I thought he was going to be around until the end. Still, I liked the shows version of Lancelot: he was played by an awesome actor and a good personality. Yet "Merlin" is a show full of surprises and the writers have proven again and again that they aren't following the legend dead-on - for example in the legend Merlin was much older than Arthur, and he was actually the one who raised him. Also, the legend didn't have characters like Freya or Gaius. To be honest, I like the series much better.
