I agree with you in theory, as far as RL goes. But for the type of show Merlin is, and with kids watching (which they are very keen to use as an excuse in all other circumstances), that was a horrible scene to put in.

And this kind of thing would be better IRL? WTF is wrong with you?

[poppatoffla.livejournal.com]

You fail at reading comprehension. Check the post I replied to again.

Because, if kids never see examples of heat-of-the-moment violence, they'll never be violent in the heat of the moment, and all fiction should be based on whether or not kids might watch it?

Personally, as a parent who lets her not-quite-teen kids watch things that maybe straddle the line of age-appropriateness -- I'm glad when shows give us scenes that make it easier to have a dialogue about things like domestic violence, anger management and sexuality. And I really don't think shows need to build their stories around "Well, what if some kids -- who the show isn't aimed at anyway -- DON'T have parents like you!"

Nope, not what I meant.

Merlin is not a serious show, and it doesn't handle serious matters very responsibly. I don't believe in over protecting kids, quite the opposite. I just find it disturbing that they do something like that while using the "kids are watching - this is a family show" excuse for the silliest of things at other times when it suits them. As much as I love Merlin, it has problems with things like slut shaming, sexism and more, and I don't think in it's current format it's suitable for a scene like the one the secret is about. Other shows have, and I'm sure will, do it a lot better.
