Another thing. I thought this show was going to be about Merlin, since that's the name. Why are they centering it more around Arthur's end than Merlin's end? And I also thought it was supposed to be like a prequel to the normal Arthurian Legend we all know, not a different retelling of the whole thing. Like it would be how Arthur, Gwen, Morgana, Mordred, and Merlin started out and what turned them into the legendary figures from the stories. So far, we've seen Morgana's change, Arthur's change, Gwen's change, but not Merlin's. He's still a servant, and magic is still outlawed, and he's not the Court Sorceror who advises Arthur and guides him, he's the servant who does so without really being able to do so freely and openly. So why end the show before actually completing that purpose? Unless that is no longer the purpose, OR they're intending to put all of that in the one season. O, I am just SO confused right now...
