User blog comment:Morganaforever/Episode Review: The Death Song of Uther Pendragon/@comment-5102537-20121021094014

Why Uther has changed so dramatically? Easy, because the producers/writers wanted to show the audience that they simply made an a*** of him, despite his character description of season one to three and the beginning of season four. Why? Because people still missed him and wanted him to stay but he is dead and Arthur is supposed to be the one who runs Camelot. To get rid of the competetion, they made Uther a psycho so that the viewer now sees "aah, okay, he was an evil bastard and never loved anyone, now we can get on with things..."

They wanted to make Arthur shine in comparison to him because Arthur, as sweet as he is, lacks of a strong personality and the producers obviously know that. They made Uther being the one who brought peace to Camelot and now there was little left for Arthur to accomplish. Well, the easiest way to make someone good and better is to belittle another. Even at the expense of logic and even when it means that they are destroying the emotional bond between Uther and Arthur and even when it means that they are contradicting themselves when opposing and ignoring their own creation they have shown us over the years - Uther's character was changed 180 and it was supposed to make the viewers hate this character.

Everyone who says that this was believable has forgotten about the previous epsiodes that showed us the relationship between Arthur and Uther and Uther's real priority, which was his children. Those who deny it have simply forgotten about the epsiodes that proved it.

As I said, I'm done with this show.
