User blog comment:LokiIsAwesome/Merlin should get more bloody/@comment-5364525-20120813033205

I'm not familiar with this rating scale... But, personally, I do find it a bit odd when there is a wound but no obvious signs of it. Merlin really needed a bit more blood to match his pained, pale appearance in A Servant of Two Masters. Gwaine got a bit of blood when he was stabbed in his introductory episode, so Merlin could have at least gotten a stain!

I think they should take Colin Morgan's advice and do the movies 'Lord of the Rings' style. Epic battles and plenty of BAMerlin.

Though I hated Agravaine, I must admit that I enjoyed series 4. The Dorocha and the Cailleach are actually taken straight from Celtic/Welsh mythology, so I think they fit rather well within the series. Agravaine was a pain, and I really wished that in The Secret Sharer, Gwaine would have whipped out a holy hand grenade and just offed the guy. However, from a writer's perspective, if not for Agravaine, we wouldn't have had such a foil for the loyal and wise Merlin to play against. Merlin's growth as Arthur's advisor and friend would have been a lot more one-dimensional without someone to contrast him.

Lancelot Du Lac was the only episode that I really disliked, and that was only because Gwen was never cleared and Arthur banished her without bothering to investigate why Gwen was acting so out of character.
