My biggest question about this episode is if Uther, before his death, saw his own past mistakes instead of blaming everyone else in the world. He too has done some cruel things, even if his actions can be explained. I wanted to see if he had finally repented for his sins, and the show did not provide any of that. I think I can answer some of your questions though.

1) Actually I was. Let's say that magic was freed and Arthur became king. The show would not end. There was still a traitor within Camelot and Morgana outside of it constantly plotting againist the kingdom. I never thought that a character as important as Uther would just die like this.

2) We cannot be sure that Uther had overcome his mental breakdown. He only tried to save his son and that did not mean he was back to normal. But even if he was, Arthur probably thought that if Uther's life was saved by magic, then Uther would be obliged to accept it.

3) To Morgana, Arthur is Uther. She has said so many times in series 4. For her, Arthur already hates magic as much as Uther-let's not forget how many innocent magical druids he has killed or handed over to Uther. So even if Uther did not die from magic, Arthur would still not change views, from her point of view-she did not know about the promise Arthur gave to Dragoon after all.

4) Well, the knights of Camelot would resist to Agravaine's men. If she would wait, she probably thought that Uther's death would cause Arthur a breakdown and weaken Camelot even more. Besides, she couldn't risk having her only pawn inside Camelot exposed if Arthur would not certainly die.

5) This...will probably never be answered.

6) Just a cliche villain line. Nothing more than that.

7) The writers tend to be forgetful maybe...

8) A wound in the heart probably differs from a wound of the mythical questing beast or from an injury that would fracture someone's head. Or maybe he just grew stronger in healing magic, since it has always been his weakness.

9) Tricky one...
