When you say like that, Fimber, I have to agree with you mostly. However except two things. Merlin was never in any sort of ethical or whatever obligation to save Uther. So that he does not chose to save him once  unless he saw his opportunity, inspite of saving him other times without seeking rewards is not something I will hold against him.

Secondly yes, no matter what we say, as we grow older we tend to look at things differently, become a bit more self centered, see the bad things in the world. I will not grudge that either. That does not mean I believe dark  and violence is be and end of everything or I have lost hope with good things, it simply means I know bad things happen, good people can do bad things at some times, and not all bad thing goes punished.

law of Karma is offcourse a very complicated thing as you say. But for the sake of simplification, lets say what goes around comes around :) . bad sorcerers did bad magic and they paid the price and Uther killed a lot of people and he paid a price. and loads of innocent people who died in between, either had bad karma carried over from past lives or will have good karma in next life. That does not explain a lot of things and  one  must dig deep down into the propounding philosophy to understand it, but not the place here I guess.

However I need to find a thread to discuss one point. Just rewatched Arthurs Bane where dragon advises Merline to guide Arthur, but technically speaking, when exactly has arthur ever listened to Merlin? Also how come does Arthur's servant always accompany him even to excursions?
