Wow, this is very interesting,

Come to think about it, there are more and more plotholes, inconsistencies, and bla bla bla..the list just go on and on.

I know and I believe that writing stories and scripts are very very very difficult, especially when you have to do it for 5 seasons. Building characters, consistent to it, thinking about it from the beginning till the end to keep it believeable, growing, and developing. Very difficult, and Merlin also got so many characters to keep up. This is why critics are very useful in this situation.

But that is why this is also such a shame that assuming that the script writers are backed up by producers, directors, actors, and I don't know how many people involved in this show (I believe it is alot), it should have been read and considered from many angles before it was being made.

Fimber, you opened my eyes about how they treated Uther. He didn't get any ceremonial funeral and Lancelot got two! Arthur also didn't give speech, and to add to it, there was no grieving time in the kingdom to honor Uther (if king or president died, all the citizens must honored it for at least three days or something like that, right?). Uther was being hated, ignored, and brought down to such a level by everyone. Nonetheless, I also like Uther very much. I can't hate him or even dislike him (although I think this is thanks to Anthony Head who did such a tremendous job with this character)

About how Morgana wanted her face to haunt Uther until his death, I think this is understandable. I mean knowing the fact that she has suffered from being chained two years in a hole and she saw it was happened because Uther couldn't accepted one of her kind, it can cause hatred deep engraved to the bone, especially if the one did it was your own father.

From my opinion, from all kings in this series, the one that is truly shown charisma, authority, power, strength, and pride as king is Uther.
