Alright, Chawk, I don't know if that last bit was a joke but seriously...

I don't want you falling in this category.

The producers have done a good enough job, otherwise we wouldn't be here. They've made a show that the majority of the audience like. In fact, the only place I see bad comments about the show overall is here, from a minority of users! I don't know if someone has put a mandrake root under Alfons's bed, or he's just been thinking far too much about Merlin, and the magic of the show has allowed the darkest recesses of his mind to surface, thus creating this sudden outburst which Alfons did not seem to decide to have until 5-6 months after the fourth season ended. It's time we focus on the line that is beginning to blur between bias and reality. The reality is the magic of this show that keeps the audience liking it. Ratings have been better and better, so obviously the producers are going to put faith into their instinct, and so have no desire to indulge in fan-fiction. If they were doing bad job, ratings would be down and it would have been canned by now. Just try to look in another perspective. I understand why some things may be frustrating, but the way "democractic media" works, is with the majority casting their faith in producers with views! Which is what they've done!

Heck, we're lucky to even get Mordred back, they can do what the hell they want with the show! It is not the legend. As for Lancelot being resurrected, while I like the character I honestly haven't paid that much attention. Resurrecting him again would be a little ridiculous. Because A. Why? B. Why? C. Why? Arthur gave him a proper burial. Then, you have to look at the fact that we were lucky to have him in four seasons, and the fact that this is a show- the actors don't hate Santiago Cabrera! So there's nothing to worry about! Plus there's still a lot of chance Arthur will find out that Gwen was enchanted! Then respect for Lancelot will come back *BAM* just like that. I don't think he needs to appear again. The scene with Merlin crying and him going into the Lake of Avalon gave a real "ending" feel. As long as the main character has no suspicion in him, it's fine for me, and many other people.

So I just think you should reconsider. You have the mindset at the moment "OH THIS ISN'T THE BEST OUTCOME SO IT IS AUTOMATICALLY THE WORST". Perhaps you should give Merlin a break, just for a month or so, so it's more invigorating when the fifth Series comes out! I hope you come to terms.
