Hahaha, definitely not the first time we've had someone who has asked questions like this as a result of the Merlin-binge! You may be completely right or you may be overanalysing, but you have a point to an extent- the producers themselves have mentioned they got inspiration from Smallville with Merlin! No jokes. I can't dig up the interview right now, but you can try! ;) Welcome, by the way! I'm glad you've chosen Merlin Wiki to express your inner fan!

Excited for Series 5? Ehhhhh!
