SyFy is just now showing the last few episodes of Merlin in the US, and I thought I would be able to cope with them, since I had read in advance what was going to happen. However, I AM NOT OK, and your video really summarizes everything that went wrong with the series.
Seeing all the clips of women being chained up, abused, harassed, and thrown at the feet of (white) men is infuriating. It's as if the series only created awesome, powerful women in order to tear them down and "put them in their place." I prefer to live in your constructed alternate universe: at the end of this vid, when the women started fighting back and triumphed, I cheered.
