Yes, this. A thousand times, exactly, so precisely this.
I'd pick a part to quote back at you, but I really can't because all of it so perfect summarizes my frustrations and despair with the show. I've tried getting caught up on S2, I have, but I cannot get past so many of these things -- Gaius' continually excused and ever-increasing moral ambiguities and self-righteousness, Gwen and Morgana's general shunting to the back of the episode unless a ~moment is required (because we all know that that's all women are good for; too much estrogen for anything else!), Arthur's reset to blithering and self-centered idiot. It's too much for me, and it breaks my heart that I've reached a point where I essentially have to end my canon at the S1 finale because I cannot deal with watching what it became in S2. It doesn't feel like my show anymore, and they don't feel like my characters, and maybe I'm being a terrible fan, but I don't know how to adjust and get it all back to a point where I can look at it and go, "Yes, that's it, I know this." It'

Hi. I don't know you. But I wholeheartedly agree. Getting caught up on season two has been a chore and I literally WINCE whenever I might need to watch it in relation to a character.
It's sad because I do love this show and I know I shouldn't raise my expectations very high for S3, but I can't help it. Even the cast wants half of what we want, they're just never given the chance to do anything with it.
SO much frustration.
I shall live happily in fics forevermore.
PS. I randomly went and read pretty much all your fics yesterday and didn't leave a single comment cause I'm a lamer, but I loved them all!
It's so damn easy to blame Gaius, and he definitely is at fault, but I'm sure it'd be a LOT MORE HELPFUL IF THE MAIN CHARACTER HAD ANY THOUGHTS OF HIS OWN.
