Well I loved last night's, even if there was more than a touch of back to square one about the ending. It was nice to see Arthur and Gwen togeather, even if it was never meant to last, and Colin Morgan's portrayal of Merlin looking how we'd usually expect Merlin to look was a corker, especially with his rant to Uther.
One thing though, how was Merlin's plan supposed to work in the first place? Would Uther really of brought "No seriously father there was this old man in my quaters, but then he vanished!"? Slight quibble aside this was very good.

^I think the idea was supposed to go pretty much how it went but he couldn't reverse the spell and make his escape the way he'd planned to.
loved it. great to see Merlin as the archetypal wizard for a change on the show.
Oh I know, it was badly realised though. After being discovered by Arthur he ran for it, then tried to change back, which was stupid given that only Arthur had seen him at this point, even the guards hadn't caught sight of him. The plan seemed to be that he'd be captured, then escape, but either the script or the direction was slightly messed up here.
Now if Gwen had any really backbone, she'd wait a couple weeks and then poison the shit out (terminal diarrhoea?) for this one... Did she suspect Morganna of being a baddie a couple weeks back too?
Or did she fall for Merlin's trick too?

Rather to serve in heaven than rule in hell?
Uthur might think that she is just a serving girl, but outside of the castle she would have status, money and appearance well beyond most of the other commoners trying to sell stir-fried rats droppings on the road side as candy.
Merlin and Gwen are paid, right?
By someone?
I don't mean to be rude, but if I didn't see Gwen's homelife with a parent on site, I would wonder if Uther/Morgana "owned" her more so than that Gweniverre worked for the Royal Family which is somewhat what the serf/lord relationship bares down to...
Can she quit?
Kidnapped and disappear? Yes. Fired certainly, but "quit" and stay in Camelot?
This is the age of indentured servitude after all.

^Yeah, a realistic response really.
Makes me wonder how many servant girls Uthur has bumped fuzzies with and exiled the next day?
The country is probably littered with Arthurs siblings.
Merlin's powers seem to be growing.
He's gong to behave like iron man melting mountain ranges with his repulsors by the time it comes to reveal who he really is.
Arthur has to kill Uthur.
He is medieval Hitler afterall.
If fate doesn't take care of the King, or one of his children, Morgana because she's an evil bitch and Arthur because Uthur is a dick, the task is going to fall to merlin.
Although how Arther can remain friends with the man who killed his father boggles the mind?
Unless he's enchanted at the time when the kids are stabbing his dead?
Or Merlin just "says" that he's Enchanted.

this week's was good. i liked that Uther knew what Arthur did and didn't object.
And a bad guy who wasn't really a bad guy, who didn't die and did realise the error of his ways at the end. Seems stupid there are so many bad guys who are convinced the way to prove Uther wrong is to try and kill him and prove him right.
The whole outlawing of magic, they're stealing language from a few oppressed minorities, sure there's actual ethnic cleansing in recent and current history but the first bib-bod that comes to mind are homosexuals in the 1950's with McCarthy and the FBI (ironically) making it impossible for them to get their leg over.
By your rationale it would have addressed the movement as being visible rather than safely hidden in closets if some one was to convince J Edgar Hoover, that guy on guy blowjobs are just Awesome.
Maybe not such a hard sell?
I think this episode was better than the sum of its parts; seeing Arthur proving yet again why he'll make a great king, Merlin wrestling with his concience, listening to the dragon for once. I think the only downside was that Gili seemed to come to his senses a bit too quickly at the end.
And if Uther knew what Arthur had done, that implied he went into that fight either expecting to be defeated, or expecting his son to throw the fight, and I can't figure out if this is a plus or minus for Uther.
