I see your point, totally. But actually, I don't want to see it through the producer's eyes because it is made for our eyes. The audience/viewer judges what they are provided with and everyone who produces something has to take and deal with criticism. It's the same everywhere, if a product doesn't please the customer, they say what they don't like. We are not supposed to support everything that is deliverd to us but we are supposed to be entertained and to spend our money for the product.

Whilst I completely agree with all of you that insults and personal attacks towards anyone of the team or against users on the internet is totally out of line, I support criticism as long as it is productive and not done to just annoy others.

The Merlin team is a team of professionals, they are capable of doing a show that doesn't make everyone wonder what is going on due to big plotholes and inconsistency, as they proved in the first three seasons. It is what I expect from a professional team and it is what I got and loved before season four started. Is it any wonder that people are either disappointed or annoyed when a show changes all of a sudden so much? However, people should realise that there is a difference between criticising the work/a product and criticising real people. Offending real people is inappropriate.
