I believe Uther's appearance was a very necessary part of series 4- why? Well: 1. His broken state was a strong reminder of the change in Camelot, and how the old days with a tyrannical ruler are over. 2. Arthur deciding to use magic to heal him was a major twist. I loves that twist! It goes to show how different Arthur is but yet a lot like his father in a way e.g. Uther asking Gaius to use magic on Morgana. 3. Uther being mortally wounded at the hands of Odin, reminds us that the world of Merlin is a big place, surrounded by many dangers and enemies. The past not being forgotten- Odin still mad about his son's death- adds depth, continuity and realism to the show.

I hope you agree I have some points. I believe a little Morgause was better than no Morgause, and the same with Uther! I almost cried in the episode The Wicked Day, as well! I thought it was lovely.
