I HATE THIS EPISODE!!!

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE DRAGOON BEING SO RUDE AND TAKING SOMEBODY'S LIFE SO LIGHTLY AND EVEN MAKING JOKES IN ABSOLUTELY WRONG TIME!!!!

sorry for all my capitals...this is the episode i hate the most in the entire show.

I agree with Aithusa...suddenly Merlin just changed into cold, cruel, rude, weird person...like entirely two different person. That's why i never like Dragoon.

He didn't care about Uther AND Arthur at the same time. Even if Merlin hated Uther, he should feel at least empathy with suppose-to-be-the-only-best-friend he got left, Arthur. His best friend's father was going to die, his best friend felt so miserable and scared.Merlin not only didn't share the same feeling, he ignored and even made joke and played with it. He even seem happy and playful at that time...

When Uther died, Merlin didn't feel sorry because he felt the sadness his friends felt, but because HE failed. He felt more miserable because of his own failure than the because he empathized with this friend.

It would be more dramatic and powerful and made sense if it happened like this : Merlin wanted Arthur to accept and freeing magic for healing his father. Merlin wanted Arthur to ask himself, lower his pride to seek and to ask help from sorcerer. But before Arthur did, Merlin had already healed Uther. So when Arthur found Dragoon and asked him for his help, Dragoon would say something dramatic like " Go home, the magic will work it's power and you will found Uther had been healed." Or given him a potion he said had been enchanted for Uther to drink. If Arthur didn't believe him Dragoon will also said something dramatic "You just had to trust my word just as I trusted your word that you will allow magic in Camelot after Uther recovered"

That would be awesome. Even if Merlin failed and Uther was suppose to die in this episode, then it was not like Merlin didn't take Uther life seriously, made fun of him and Arthur in that sad and crucial time...

Too bad this episode had to be carried like this...there was nothing good in this episode...
