Well in my opinion, The Death Song of Uther Pendragon was none other than an insult to Uther's character. Whether if he was himself or not, they failed to explain it therefore pulling out the 'ghosts aren't themselves' card is completely invalid.

Uther loved his son. Sure sometimes he lost his temper and did some terrible things, but the bottom line is that he loves his children, why else would you think he'd get all depressed about Morgana betraying him when Camelot comes first? When he implied that he would kill Morgana, if you look at the circumstances from his point of view, it was only to protect her. He didn't want her siding with anyone who possesses magic.

Even if he was mad at Arthur do you honestly think Uther would want to kill him? It's just silly. Think back to in Le Morte d'Arthur when Uther was balling his eyes out over Arthur's death. I honestly do not see how Uther's character in The Death Song of Uther Pendragon was even somewhat in character to what he was in Series 1-4.

And honestly, ghosts are magical, when he was a ghost, why on Earth would he think what he is doing is right when he's a magical creature?

It's just all a mess. One of the main reasons why I'm not liking Series 5 so far... it has made more mess and in-completion than when it started. If it's the final season of the show, they are supposed to be concluding plots, not leaving more questions and un-explanations.
