Has anybody been watching this horrific bit of butchery? The writers have gone lets make a series about the early life of Merlin but just in case no-one knows who Merlin is we'll take everyone from Arthurian legend and stick them all together and totally screw up one of Europe's greatest legends. Because Arthur and Merlin are about the same age and Arthur knows who his dad is then there is no sword in the stone. How is Arthur supposed to learn about everything the Round Table represents when his teacher is his servant? Why has Arthur got the hots for Morgana and everyone is trying to get them together when, in legend, she is his half sister and through magic tricks Arthur to sleep with her and so Mordred is born? In fact why the fcuk was this travesty ever made? The idea of a series about the early life of Merlin is sound, but they didn't have to screw up the entire legend to do it. They could have, I don't want to sound controversial but here it is, used their own imaginations as to what he would get up to and who he met without using existing characters from Arthurian legend. God knows there's been more than enough written on Arthur to draw inspiration from.
