This (http://thingswithwings.livejournal.com/49928.html) post. (Resonse. (http://linaerys.livejournal.com/651478.html) More discussion. (http://miriam-heddy.livejournal.com/310511.html)) Part of it seems to be motivated by the fact that she doesn't want writers to migrate from SGA fandom to Merlin, which kind of undermined the point she was trying to make. And part of it is simply based on assumptions, because we have no idea yet how killing (assuming she's really dead) Nimueh will affect Merlin. I may be wrong, but I suspect in S2 there might be an arc where magic becomes not just flowers and fluffy kittens and protecting the people he loves for him, but something a bit more dangerous and ambivalent.
I admit I haven't watched SV past S5, mostly because it was getting to the point where Lex's arc became too painful to watch (How much will it break my heart if I do go on?), but I completely agree, it always had very good bits beside the... less good ones.
