Board Thread:Rewatching "Merlin" - Season Two/@comment-5102537-20130713192800/@comment-10341849-20130714133045

I might get something wrong here, by my question is (sorry if this is a silly one), if Uther wanted to unite the Five Kingdoms (is it called Five because there was 5 ?), but I counted only three Kings there : Uther, Olaf, Alined, where were the other two? (I am not joking, I am really confused because of this silly question. Sorry again:))

Anyway, yes, I totally agree with all of you, ReganX, Areanna123, Fimber, Vivian was left enchanted forever. (I didn't realize it though until I rewatched it again), and that was a very cruel thing to do. I think this is because Vivian was just guest cast or this episode was just filler, so other characters were not important, especially not in the term of their future life after this episode.

But I wonder too, why Uther didn't do anything to stop Arthur or try to punish him for doing something so silly and risky when he didn't know Arthur was enchanted. I imagined he supposed to be as furious as Olaf, maybe more since Uther already explained to him how important this unification. I didn't even feel Uther's anger at all, he just looked a little bit irritated and annoyed.

I also dislike how the enchanment can be broken by true love's kiss. For me, they were pushing it too hard so Gwen was part of this episode and contributed something. Although this provided good explanation about why Merlin's magic was useless, not because he was not powerful enough, but because the spell itself can't be broken my any magic but only with true love. (Kilgharrah said it himself).

My favourite part too is when Arthur knocked Vivian's door and said "Destiny and chicken". LOL!!!

Anyway, this episode was real fun to watch.
