This shows pacing is beyond slow. The first couple episodes of the season were honestly very good, but for the past few weeks nothing happens. Gwen flipping was interesting for a while but why did they need more than one episode for it. Ive been watching the Sopranos a shitton these past few weeks and cant stand these shows where nothing happens, the fast paced action of a show like the Sopranos makes it great and when Merlin moves at a snails pace it bother me. I love Merlin, I was hooked 4 episodes into season 1 but holy shit this season has been slow. I swear it feels like nothing has happened since episode 2 or so and with 3 episodes left (and one about some random chick and Mordred) the 2 parter at the end better be a breakneck pace or this show will go down as one that didnt meet its potential.
