@Alethia II - I think the reason Mithian is "weak" because she didn't do any fighting in 5 x 04. All she did was run and hide behind Merlin when the heat was on. Mithian is heiress apparent to the throne of Nemeth (I presume Rodor has no sons). She showed she had no combat skills. Based on what we saw so far, how is she is believed to be capable in commanding Nemeth's army as queen regnant? Granted she showed cleverness in exposing Morgana, but because she was born to rule much more was expected. Annis was a consort and she showed no skill with a blade, but how she carries herself says there's no question who runs things in Carleon. Even when Annis was dealing with Morgana, in the end Annis told Morgana to go somewhere and sit down. And Morgana didn't strkie back. Arthur was the one that forced Odin out and restore Rodor to his throne. The way this was handled should Mithian eventually marry her husband would rule.

As for Arthur and Mithian getting married - Mithian looks good on paper but in the end it would have been a politicial union with levels of respect but no love, passion or tenderness.

Could anyone see Mithian do this.....



Or even this....



(To any wiseguys, no she's not checking for lice.)

given what we seen now? This point is, these intimacies would have been achieved in Arthur's and Mithian's marriage. Mithian would always have to compete with the memory of Gwen, or worse, worry that the king would take a mistress. Mithian would be in no position to complain if he did; women of her class were expected to sheild their eyes and endure in such a situation. If she left him the alliance would be at risk; if she took a lover her life would be at risk. It is all for the best they ended up as friends.
