User blog comment:Darkzod/Series 4 lacked the consistency from the other series'/@comment-5139779-20120702233526

Very interesting background. Good to have you around!

While I still loved Merlin, I do agree with all your points, I've been in denial a lot of the time, Series 4 really was a bit rushed and inconsistent. I agree with all your points to a degree.

I must say, though, I think it's just a minority who point out all these flaws, though. I mean, the people who upload these episodes on YouTube, they get hundreds of thousands of views, have you seen the comments, they're all positive. So it must only be in more intellectual communities such as this one where people really break it down. I suppose because it's a TV series, not a big blockbuster movie, it has less of a spotlight. All the reviews from fan websites that come out a few hours after the broadcasting of the episodes are heavily biased towards, as well.

It just startles me a little, it's not far until Series 5, and suddenly we're getting a surge of criticism towards Series 4.. maybe it's a way to cope with the wait towards Series 5.

As the producers have said Series 5 will be darker, let's hope they keep it consistent!

Thank you.
