I paid attention and it's not the lyrics or the song that I dislike but the fact that, in my opinion, it doesn't fit the show. I know it's quite trendy to use such music and trailers even for medieval movies or shows and it worked great for Highlander, which was a mixture of past times and the present times. If they had done it that way on Merlin from the beginning, it would be okay. But they changed it to make it even "younger" (yet mature...?....) and modern and I think it's a pity. It doesn't feel like "Merlin" anymore but like a modern teen show.

It's not that a trailer is that important to discuss the few seconds in length... but it's pop-culture now, and as such not what I have come to like in the first place. At least they won't use the music in the epsiodes. I hope...

To me it's not getting more epic but more and more shallow. As said, popcorn entertainment. But let's wait and see what the new season brings, maybe it's good.
