I can't help but think that Marion Zimmer Bradley and Thomas Mallory are rolling in their graves now. Season 3 is making them spin at lightspeed.
I know Mallory's take on Arthuriana is sorta sexist (I blame the time period) and that a lot of people have issues wit Bradley's The Mists of Avalon but COME ON. Both takes have three dimensional characters and a well written compelling plotline.
Every adaptation takes liberties and it's ok. My problem with Merlin is that the creators aren't even consistent about their own inconsistencies! Agh!
