Ha ha, it's funny, in the episode The Once and Future Queen, he says he's going out to hunt a creature of magic with the head of a bear or something, and Uther let him "give up the tournament", to go and hunt it. Yet a creature of magic can kill with one strong blow and can usually only be killed with magic. Which is funny, because many of the dragons during the Great Purge were slaughtered by Uther's men, were they not (and Kilgharrah lured in), yet creatures like the Griffin are invincible to weapons that aren't enchanted with powerful magic. It's a mystery how the great purge took place when now in Merlin killing one sorcerer is usually a deadly and complex task (without Merlin, that is). Uther had sent his son to his death so many times, but it was only on a few occasions it stuck to him "This is the future King I'm sending to his death." It's funny as well how during all the to the death tournaments Uther had large confidence in Arthur to always come #1. In one episode, though, in Series 1 (I forgot which) Arthur did say to his father "I thought I was a big disappointment to you." I guess this is what Merlin is for! Hahaha. Imagine if the show was called "Arthur" and had no Merlin. Arthur would have been dead from Mary Collins then it'd be the end of the series. I suppose they could've used the rest of the money on charity or something..

Haha what am I saying? Merlin for<3v<3r
