Board Thread:Rewatching "Merlin" - Season One/@comment-5102537-20130323143713/@comment-6905051-20130325094726

Episodes like this makes it very difficult for me to like UTher and gives me more reasons why democracy  is a better idea where no one yields absolute power. Yes I know it has its loopholes too, and no sometimes we need someone to take the absolute decision and yes the more charishmatic and stronger leader will always dominate but  How could anyone not stop Uther for a moment, make him see some sense? Edwin was another such victim for the event. yes he turned villain, yes it was typical *stereotype* villain but was it so difficult to show some sympathy for him in the show.

The show is all about journey of a boy and him meeting his destiny but its funny how the whole show is so much linear and simpler and childish when one watches it for the second time.
