Merlin Season 1 Episode 4

Three down and we have our first first episode, what is going on? I am not sure if I understood this episode at all, but there were large chunks missing in my opinion - like a good beginning were it is explained that the kingdom is at war. The middle could do with some re-writing as well, giving it some story line and maybe a little bit of an edge and help the viewer understand the motivations of the various characters and their actions. The ending was just pitiful, almost as if the writers knew that they couldn't save anything in this episode anymore so they didn't even bother.





To think that I missed out on other, better things because of watching this drivel for 43 minutes still gives me a bitter taste...
