I enjoyed that episode because it showed Arthur beginning to accept magic once again after Uther's death which hardened him almost like Uther. The only thing I didn't like about A Herald of the New Age was that Arthur was a bit mean to Merlin. I know he missed Gwen and was hurt by her apparent betrayal but that didn't give him the right to shout at Merlin and abuse him in the end of the episode. Arthur needs to show more affection and respect to Merlin now that he finally sees him as his friend. Other than that, I loved the episode.
