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.
