User blog comment:Fimber/Things that went wrong in "The Death Song of Uther Pendragon"/@comment-5653470-20121023222729

Thank you very much for creating this blog, Fimber. I have been lurking around on this Wikia for quite some time and I think it is a wonderful site. I was somewhat startled that recently some people have demanded an end to criticism of the series, but aside from this I do enjoy this Wikia tremendously.

Back to topic. I think you have described very accurately what the recent epsiode about Uther's return suffered from. Up until the very last second I was convinced that one of the characters will say that this Uther actually was not the real Uther but another spirit pretending to be. When the epsiode was over I thought that I had missed something because I could not believe that TPTB really rewrote such an important and essential character like Uther. My disappointment and disbelief was second to none.

Your pictures that show the scenes and remind us all of what Uther's character really was about and what was most important to him are wonderfully inserted and very well chosen for they show us what the series has shown us from the very beginning. Uther has always cared more about his son and his daughter than about his kingdom. I am actually very surprised that suddenly there are fans who really think that Uther's love for Arthur was not real or only conditional. It has been obvious all along that Uther was driven by his love and protective instinct the most and that his kingdom was important but basically not more than a tool or a thing that helped protecting his children and hisself as well as the citizens of Camelot.

Whenever I read fan reviews and opinions on the internet about every epsiode of this series, it has always been obvious that even those who tremendously disliked Uther never doubted his genuine love for Arthur. As a matter of fact, even the more critical epsiodes of Uther have always shown us that no matter what he did, his love for Arthur and Morgana was his first priority. In the end, before he died, it was this very thing that summed him up when being devastated and broken by his daughter's unbelievable hatred towards him, as well as by his reactions to Arthur, the one for whom he sacrificed his life.

This rewriting of his character to me is totally incomprehensible and unacceptable for it fools the audience and reduced Uther to absurdity.

Mind you, I have a theory about *The Death Song of Uther Pendragon* because I'm in total denial of this epsiode that did not match his character at all. I have little hope that my theory is true but I can't really believe that they really sacrificed this fantastic character to serve this strange story. First, I have to check how to create a blog.

Thanks again.
