Re: I'm so glad it's back . . . I feel rested.

*laughs* Okay. Uther's not the kinda guy you want living next door or being your employer . . . or your King. That would suck. But no matter what they think of Uther personally I think the peoples generally respect his power, think of him as strong and solid . . . so all this craziness is unfortunate.

Then again, there was that time he married a troll. xD /cheap shot

I suppose with Uther it depends on perspective. I wish the show would give us an idea of how much of a minority the magical population is. Like are we talking 1 in 10? Are most pople likely to have a magical relative or friend or acqaintance? Or are they very rare? With the first I could see alot of underlying resentment in the kingdom. Like people accept him at of fear but there's going to be one hell of a party on Arthur's coronation day. With the second there's probably alot more people buying into his propaganda. And I'm certain that either way there's a huge sense of paranoia, how much do you want to bet tons of people have been falsely accused and killed? (Hi there Tom! Miss you T_T)

And the way I reason it is that Magic took something that he loved (okay, his fault) and he's desperate to protect himself and all he has left (arthur and morgana) from it at any cost . . . I think losing either of his kids would destroy him. He loves them and he tries to be a good father.

I think so too! It just...doesn't change my opinion on him? Like I don't really care about his motivations, he's a mass murderer. =( Merlin is just weird sometimes. I've never seen a show that argued so much in favor of an oppressive status quo.

LOL, the entire apology/confrontation had me laughing . . . she's very focused. I'd have dropped hints that I KNEW and freaked him out for a while first XD

Oh Morgana. xD Maybe she was worried about her acting skills not being strong enough to pull it off. I mean she can't even resist the urge to smirk evilly every time no one's watching, she'd probably end up going too far if she started messing with Merlin.
