No offense to anyone here but you'd have to be really stupid NOT to realise that Merlin was making the story up at least part of it. Merlin knew what he was doing as Kilgharrah was right: Only Merlin could restore Arthur's faith in himself. I think the two parter Sword in the Stone episode was brilliant.

As for the whole Bruta thing: you don't have to be related to take over a kingdom. Remember what Uther said? Uther won the kingdom from another king and crowned HIMSELF its king meaning that Uther was technically the first Pendragon to rule Camelot then when he died Arthur took over, obviously. So yes, Bruta might not be related to the Pendragon dynasty but he could still be considered a member of the family as one of the first kings. That was the bit that Merlin LIED about. He could have said anything to restore Arthur's faith.

Every show has plotholes, I get that but there is no need to think that an episode sucked because there are too many plotholes. I mean look at LOST, that had WAY too many plotholes, not that I watched it. It's a show people! If you don't like it then don't watch it.
