One thing about this episode that makes me angry is the way Arthur took it upon himself to knight commoners. As far as he knew, Uther was going to be ready to resume his rule of Camelot if/when Morgana was defeated and he knew perfectly well that his father would not have consented to breaking the First Code but he took it upon himself to deliberately flout Uther's clearly stated wishes, which I found very disrespectful.

It'd be fine if he had said that Uther wouldn't approve of the men being knighted but that, once he was King, he would be proud to admit them to the ranks of the Knights of Camelot but it's not something he should have done while Uther lived.
