Talk:Beauty and the Beast/@comment-5102537-20120924134016

Beauty and the Beast wasn't bad, I liked the epsiodes. True, there were a lot of disgusting scenes and it didn't quite serve the overall plot with the exception of Uther telling Catrina/troll that he has never been with another woman ever since Igraine died. I think it was supposed to show his loyalty and true love for Igraine, and emphasizing his reason for hating magic but they never referred to it again and forgot about Igraine in season four when she actually should have been a big part of Uther's thoughts when he was broken and when he died.

Although I liked the comedy of these epsiodes (despite the disgusting scenes) and Uther's softer and romantic side, I'm not sure why they let Uther be the victim of this troll. In regard to the plot of the entire show, this comedy two-parter completely humilitated Uther. It wouldn't have been so bad if the first "woman" he ever had after Igraine (after 24 years, after all....) hadnt been a disgusting troll. Actually, he "betrayed" his faithfulness and loyalty to Igraine with a magical creature, a disgusting troll. Was actually quite mean, I think.... Moreover, his short happiness, even though it was fake due to the enchantment, was destroyed again, like every happiness he ever felt has always been destroyed. I also wonder why Morgana seemed to be amused and somewhat happy for Uther since she already hated him at that point of time.

On the other hand it proved once again that magic isn't necessarily a good thing but rather dangerous and that not even half of the sorcerers/magical creatures we have seen came to Camelot only to take revenge on Uther but had their own different agendas that didn't have to do with the Great Purge.
