Merlin circa season 3

[ivyfic]

Now that Merlin has ended and I've thoroughly spoiled myself for pretty much everything that's happened since I stopped watching (at the end of season two), I've started watching again.

I'd forgotten that this show pretty much has two plots: a) mytharc stuff related to Arthurian legend and b) someone gets possessed/enchanted and hilarity ensues. Seriously--how many times can you use the plot Arthur/Uther is enchanted to marry someone who is not what they seem? And yet...

I stopped watching because I didn't like the direction the overall show was going, but man, these filler episodes are hard to take.
