I agree with Fimber, logic has always had to make way for the plotlines. If I had liked Merlin because it was accurate or even vaguely efficient when it came to logic or accuracy I would've stopped watching it a long time ago. I watch it because of the characters. The Merlin/Arthur friendship/broship is one specific example. The drama and hardship Merlin goes through and how he acts in tough situations, another. It's the characters trials and successes and failures that keep me watching it.

Though I will be frank, having just a little bit more logic and little bit less plotholes would make it infinietly more enjoyable.
