That also seems to be the reason why the storyline was dropped; because of the negative reaction towards her.''

That is the most stupid thing I have ever heard. And it's sloppy on Kitsis and Horowitz's part. Instead, they'll have this hanging story arc that will never be resolved, because some fans didn't like Merida. I liked her a hell of a lot more than most of the regulars, this season. But that's just me. Still, the Camelot/Arthur/Merida issue needs to be resolved, instead of allowing the fans to control the story. It will be resolved, they are having her back sometime later in 5B. And it's not because fans didn't like her, that was speculation on the part of Pat. If anything, they would have went with the original plan to ship her and the Camelot crew off in Swan Song, but they didn't do that specifically so they can have them on the show longer.
