I don't understand most of the thoughts above :(

But if I may give some opinion. About Merlin's and Arthur's destiny were bound together, it doesn't mean they have to be together in their young age. I always have in my mind that Merlin is an old man when he help Arthur unite Albion and become the greatest king ever.

Since Merlin is supposed to be immortal, Arthur can be born anytime even after Merlin hundred years old. But since Arthur is not immortal, Merlin has to be born not too far after Arthur. Arthur will not respect Merlin if Merlin is too far younger than him. That's why when Arthur born, Merlin had to be born too.

If Arthur was meant to born later, maybe because Uther asked for magical help made the birth of Arthur was earlier than it suppose to be. And that's why he died so easily and so young of age without succeeding uniting Albion (it was not his time to succeed yet). And also after his death, Kilgharrah said he will rise again when the time has come. So it means that Merlin birth maybe was earlier than it suppose to be too. But since he is immortal, it doesn't matter when Arthur will rise again. Poor Merlin just have to wait as long as is needed.

Confusing.....I got a little bit dizzy about what I said too :)
