I completely agree. I feel many of episodes seemed more like random isolated improvisations rather than building up towards a coherent plot for the whole series.

I liked the show and many episoded were good as stand alone,  but I really don't believe they planned the 5 seasons with anticipation at all, even when I know they said in interview that they did. I mean when you look the series as a whole it's there where you see the biggest plot holes.

I loved the characters, and the story initial premise, also the cast was very good, but the writers were never careful enough with details and continuity and this problem only grew bigger with time.

I read this analysis sometime ago about the writing problems in the series and I feel I completely agree with it:

On a side note, I wonder why Merlin thought the Dragon calling Morgana witch was an insult of sorts (or at least it seems the word implied evilness in this context), but he wasn't offended when he was called warlock by Kilgharrah, despite the world warlock has almost the same meaning, only applied to a male instead of a female.
