I actually agree with quite a bit you said about Uther. I admit I overlooked, intially, the fact that he did speak to Merlin almost as an equal in Excailibur and in The Crystal Cave (haven't seen those episodes in a little while).

About Morgana, I don't think the writers are to blame. I think it's the fans themselves. See, I thought it was perfectly clear the writers were making Morgana the oposite of Merlin (the version of what Merlin could have been if he had been bitter). The writers/show itself doesn't really justify her actions (save for the mention of Merlin saying he "blamed himself" in season five's finale), it's the FANS that do this. That's one reason why I don't like Lancelot, cuz it feels like the SHOW itself, the storyline, justifies everything to do with him. I like Morgana because I felt less hit over the head with her apparently "goodness" (up until her hardcore fans -and even Katie Mcgrath herself to some extent- tried to say she was just a misunderstood heroine).
