Don't get me wrong, folks, I know that Merlin is only a silly adolescent vehicle for corny jokes, Arthur and Merlin "bromance" (a word I don't like, but the perfect one in this instance), Real Old English, cliched social commentary, and teeny bopperly remade Arthurian legend. I know it, I accept it, and I even might say that I love it.
I EMBRACE THE CORNY!!!!!!!!!!!
But why Why WHY did Gwen, the serving-class black woman who becomes queen of Camelot, and thereby a teensy bit over-the-top symbol of the social forwardness that characterizes Arthur's court, but still a symbol of something and furthermore a likeable character in her individual right for four whole series...
...become boob transportation.
That is my complaint.
At least Arthur and Merlin still act like 10 year old boys. Otherwise there'd be little point anymore.
Oh! Also that Morgana is getting a little bit repetitive. And I say that as someone who anticipated every single stock phrase Anthony Head uttered through three series and still enjoyed it.
