While I’m still somewhat in love with the whole Merlin story (and now sprinkles of Arthur) I realise that Merlin ist pretty manipulative and pulls plenty of puppeteer strings in the back. The scheming was quite entertaining. The character that was the most interesting to me however was Morgause. What she did - knowingly - is beyond appalling. But looking at when and where the Arthurian legend takes place, Society did not take kindly to smart and determined women, and this also includes Merlin. Expressions about other cultures and peoples, just as well as the competencies of women made me queasy.
