User blog comment:Dryuuu/Why didn't Morgana tell Uther about Merlin poisoning her.../@comment-180964-20120316210814

It is kind of weird and interesting at the same time as to why Morgana near used the opportunity to get rid of Merlin by telling Uther that Merlin tried to poison her. If she did tell Uther about what Merlin did that would of made for a real interesting story line Merlin trying to protect Arthur from outside of Camelot and also at the same time being on the run from Uther and Camelot as well. Its kind of hard to give a real clear answer could Merlin have countered this accusation because for one thing Morgana being Uther's daughter kind states that he kind of has no chance of winning against such a accusation. However Merlin does know about how Arthur was truely born and Uther did have a privated conversation with Merlin about it so Merlin maybe could try and blackmail Uther and might end up getting leverage over Uther. But in the end it would probably just be a loosing battle that Merlin couldn't win even if he had Arthur, Gwen and Gaius on his side. Another way of looking at this certain issue is both Merlin and Morgana have had several occasions to kill and get rid of each but end up not being able to pull the trigger so it kind of goes both ways. Maybe with Series 5 with the hope of more interaction between Merlin and Morgana we might get a better anwer to this certain issue.
