@Gwaine: I can only post a reply here. It appears that posting a reply under each comment is not available. Not sure if that is the way this is set up. So please forgive me for starting a new comment, purely unintentional.

@Fimber: My deductions of the show are meant to be philosophically speaking, not mixing real life reality and fiction. If I understand you correctly in your statement, "There is no evil in a new born living being" to refer to real life instead of fanciful conclusions then I must inform you of a passage that states, "ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God", this reference states that yes, even infants are born into a world with sin. If I were to mix examples of real life with television drama then I can say history has shown when the Evil One was allowed to enter into someone at a time to fulfill a plan, i.e. Judas was entered by Satan in Luke 22:3, and Peter was influenced by Satan (Matthew 16:23). With that said let me now reference the program. I believe Uther knew the purpose of the horn because when he saw Arthur lift it to usher him back into the spirit world he cried out in opposition. When he knocked Arthur out, Merlin entered and said, “Move away from him”, I am speculating by making an observation based on later evidence of the two, (no to Arthur blowing the horn). When a parent truly loves their child they allow a child the right to make their own bent in life, Uther’s obsession with power blinded him in allowing Arthur to make his own way, because it was not Uther’s way. In conclusion Uther was saying, “Get out of the way, that is not the way I want this kingdom to be governed, now I will do it and my way.” In the end Uther had or continued to have a love for his son, but it was tainted only when he could influence Arthur, dominate him, and control him.

   I do appreciate your observations and want you to know Fimber that I am not trying to be an Uther in my concluding statements by posing my views as the only view, but just adding to this wonderful philosophical exchange of thoughts available to us through this website appreciating your comments.
