Judging from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fandom_secrets, there appears to be a segment of the Merlin fandom that is both
a.) disappointed
and
b.) surprised
that the show is going to make Guinevere/Arthur canon, instead of Merlin/Arthur.
....
To which I can only ask, were you dropped on the head as a child? Did you actually think the BBC was going to change the CORE of the Arthurian legend in order to fulfill your slash fantasies? Really now. I can understand being disappointed, but don't be dumb about it. You should know that the family-centric show is not going to change an epic, classic myth to be progressive. (Not saying I don't want gays on my child-friendly programming, but that particular set of homosexuals was never going to happen.)
