I was going to ask - why no commentary on Elyan's death? But here it is.
When he wasn't filming in Pierrefonds in the fall, I braced myself for this, and at Mab's warning, I knew it was him. I'm angry about it - the way everyone else was angry about Lancelot, that's how I feel about Elyan - it was a shitty thing for the writers to do to a character that has done nothing but good things for his King and land.
But it's not really even anger any more. It's just such a sense of being utterly discouraged. I've been loyally clinging to my love of the show all last season, when everyone was disappointed and angry and wanting to give up. I now feel totally disconnected from Merlin - I have no sympathy with the character anymore - but Elyan was my last straw. Now the show is just something to be endured until the end (it had better end this season) so I can say I finished it and move on. So discouraged.
