User blog comment:Adelina Le Morte March/The LEGENDS are repetive. It's not just a BBC thing!/@comment-4283129-20121121123309

First, I must agree with Knightofthecart and say that we need to know diference between repetition and repetitiveness. Arthurian legends as we call them are series of stories that were written down throughout centuries and have repetition in them because they are at the very core; variations of the same story that was first written down by, the version we know today, Geoffrey of Monmouth, author of quite debatable stories that revolve around Arthur(at least from historian scholar's point of view). And though I too did not very much appreciate people who constantly complained about they way some relationships in the show turned out because they excpected something completely different from the legend, I resent the fact you called people who complain about the show stupid and nit-picky. Though I did not ever complain about the canon relationships show has taken from the legens(more-less), I did and still am complaining about the storyline we are presented in the show. True, repetition cannot be avoided but we are not dealing with repetition here, we are dealing with the repetitiveness, which in fact annoys many fans, whether they chose to voice that annoyance or not. Arthur has spent almost ten years running around Camelot's territory, waving his sword uselessly at sorcerers that for some reason also manage to look dumb for getting killed so easily, getting knocked out conveniantely every time Merlin has to user magic in his close vicinity and his pretty much solid view on magic as evil thing is repetitive and it grates the fans' patience. Rememeber, as much as we loved and most of us still do love the legends, those legends speak of King Arthur as the greatest king Albion ever had and during his reign, magic was free and blessed the land for many years. Arthur has been king for four years and everything is on an irritating stand-still. Magic is still outlawed, frowned upon; Arthur is still pretty much the same unobservant blonde and there is not so much as a blip of this great Albion that is supposed to happen(Arthur making peace with Odin is not what I consider a good dose of Albion's unification). So yeah, I am done with my rant. Yes, life is not boom this, boom that. But considering that technically ten years has passed in Merlin world, I am expecting something more than 'Evil sorcerer is plotting against Camelot, we must deal with him at once' or 'Morgana's yet again failed plan to kill Arthur and take Camelot for herself'. Just because I complain does not mean I stopped loving the show. Hope after all, is the last one to die.
