I realize that when someone does a project like this, they want to put their own spin on the story, and some liberties are expected. But they can't just rewrite a legend and expect viewers to be happy.
I've struggled with this since I started watching this. Morgana was not raised by Uther. Arthur and Merlin were not the same age. And in this episode, Morgana doesn't even know about Morgause.
These changes have pulled me straight out of the story, which is opposite of what the creators of this series want.
In the legend, Uther slept with Ygraine, who died in childbirth. There was no mention of magic used.
This would be a spectacular series if they hadn't mucked up the legend. But as is, I'm disappointed. I was hoping for a more thorough story about Merlin, not a separate, made up fantasy.
