Hi 123Action. I suppose while the hype around "Merlin" lasted, people felt differently about the show and were looking forward to each new epsiode, hoping that finally Merlin and Arthur would fulfill their destiny. It's a lot easier to overlook plotholes and illogical storylines while waiting for the big and anticipated solution, hoping that it gets better. The finale then disappointed most fans and the expected and anticipated reward of watching for years was lost once and for all.

I don't get why especially the last season was so very rushed and lacked of depth and sense. Ever since season four it often felt like the scripts were written in coffee breaks by people who have never really seen the other seasons before, and especially season five was only a collection of forced scenes packed together in order to show Merlin and Arthur confessing their friendship over and over again. The plots seemed to be unimportant because the main thing was to show the "boys" being together on some weird trips that served no purpose at all in regard to the overall plotline.

This, seasons four and five,  was the first time ever that I was checking my watch and waiting for the episodes to finally end. Can't believe I was so bored by my former favourite TV show.
