Yes, so again this was Merlin's fault, right? He use Uther's life as a barganing chip, he didn't give good thought about how should it be done well and led to Agravaine having time to tell Morgana, and at the end he killed Uther.

I mean why oh why they had to make it this way? What were they thinking when making that script to let Merlin did such a big big huge careless mistake. And this is in series 4, how many years has passed since Merlin arrived in Camelot, why did he still make such a reckless stupid mistake? Isn't he suppose to be wiser and calmer now?

And beside that, I am wondering too, so many times and so many ways and so many people tried to kill Uther but all failed, but when the killing was for Arthur, they unexpectedly killed Uther. I always feel that if Uther should die, he would die in battle or in more honourable glorious expected ways than just defending Arthur while he was still in such a weak condition.
