Board Thread:Rewatching "Merlin" - Season Five/@comment-5102537-20140329115401/@comment-124.148.153.6-20140330112915

Me too, by this point in the series, I was throwing my hands up in despair!

Yes, Gwaine was acting weird, so was everybody else! Since when  did Arthur and Gwen describe magic-users as fanatics? and dismiss everything else as just superstition.

The old religion was in full focus here, so whats the new religion? Merlin was told (in earlier seasons, so perhaps the writers "forgot" so why didn't he at least talk to them - or the Dragon) that he was a creature of the old religion. Nimue recognised him and said they should join forces. One thing I missed was the previous seasons Merlin was always sneaking around, and trying to find things out,  spying  etc, season 5 Merlin couldn't seem to give a stuff and slept all night. At this point he'd forgotten about other magic users and the other part of his destiny which was to unite the "old ways and the new" as the Fisher King told him. It was totally infuriating.

I later discovered by accident that the Disir are goddesses of fertility!!!
