Board Thread:Rewatching "Merlin" - Season Two/@comment-5102537-20130518184122/@comment-5102537-20130521204601

I didn't find it disgusting either, only annoying. Even though I think it was a good lesson about the consequences of bullying someone I would have preferred Arthur to question Cedric's motivation some more.

There was a similar situation when Edward bullied Gaius and Uther fell for it, which annoyed me too, yet it was a different situation. Uther had to decide who was a better physician, especially since Morgana had almost died and the well-being of the royal household was most important. In "The Curse of Cornelius Sigan" it only was about a new servant who seemed to be working better than Merlin and who pampered Arthur, so in my opinion, this wasn't appropriate for the Once and Future King.... Arthur should have read between the lines and should have given Merlin more credit.

@Alfons:

"But personally, I do not think this should have been the premiere of the season, because to me, aside from Kilgharrah asking to be set free, that it was mainly a filler episode.

''In-fact, back in 2009 I was actually hoping Nimueh would make a brief appearance in the opening episode of Series 2 but perish again instantly. Because I would have been delighted to hear more info on the Uther/Ygraine saga."''

 I agree on all points. Though I didn't expect Nimueh to come back.. Nevertheless, I would have liked to see her again and to see more about the Uther/Igraine/Arthur - story.

I forgot something: finally we saw some kind of a lazaret or sickbay. This was about time :-) A kingdom like Camelot should actually have more physicians than just one, by the way.
