Really good blog post, I love it, I was actually thinking of making something like this (but in several blog posts), but no, as usual, you've brought it upon yourself to do it all. It's all here! Well done!

A few small things I would point out, is I don't think Arthur was intending to flee Camelot in The Sword in the Stone, otherwise Merlin wouldn't have had to use magic to make him behave... which makes me think, if the producers did think of this parallel (I think they did, as the music matched as well, and as you said, the light and darkness), then maybe Morgana wasn't fleeing at all? Could be a hint to what she was really intending on doing when she left (referring to your other blog post). About the sword on fire and thrown in the water, that is some sharp and keen observing, but I wouldn't say the producers notice that much...

Hidden symbolism can be found in anything, that's what I love about art, you don't have to know what meaning you have created!
