I also believe Merlin is a coward! Especially in 4x07 and 4x08 when he was definitely going to die (he would have if it weren't for Alator) he wouldnt cast a single spell to save himself. and in 4x08 when Merlin and Gwen were going to be killed by the Lamia, merlin was too chicken to use magic around gwen. So it sums up that Merlin is a coward!
