User blog comment:DestinyOrNot/Should Percival be a Knight?/@comment-4879894-20120411120001

I had the same question the first time I saw this episode. If we have to push few rocks to be knighted, Arthur have to knight every lumberjacks lie on his path. Besides, Percival has a major role in the legend, he is the choosen one, because is pure of heart and of body, this doesn't mean that the writers had to make him so dull and so empty. All along the series 4, we haven't got the chance to discover who he really is. He is just a simpleton with muscles... ok... very big muscles.

By the way, I didn't understand either why Elyan was knighted at the Round Table : because he is Gwen's brother ? Because, since Pellinore's death, there were no more black knight in Camelot ?

I see the objection : Arthur needed every allies he could get, but they'd already pledged their allegiance to the king. It was more logical if Uther himself had knighted the four commoners after the victory. The episode could have been nicely ended by dubbing.
