Hi Knightofthecart,

I wanted to comment on your new blog post but my comment keeps disappearing all the time. Happened to me and some others before on other blogs and I don't know what it is.

I will try to comment later but until then, here is my response (maybe commneting works tomorrow):

Great blog post :-)

I actually liked this scene and I too think it was fresh and interesting to see that Arthur couldn't pull the sword without Merlin's help.

The only thing I found weird was the fact that Arthur bought Merlin's story in the end when Arthur actually knew for sure that Uther didn't inherit the kingdom but conquered it. If I was Arthur, I would ask Geoffrey ASAP if I really descended from Bruta and if so, if my father (Uther) had conquered Camelot BACK? from someone else who took it from him or his/my ancestors or if my mother Igraine maybe descended from Bruta. One way or another, pulling out the sword should have convinced him that the old fairytale was actually true (even though it wasn't), so he should have tried to find out how this is possible. Uther told him that he didn't inherit but conquered Camelot after all. Actually, Arthur should know all about his own history, and if he doesn't, he should find out to see what was going on. Would have been a great opportunity to learn more about his mother, too.
