I disagree - ep5 is the one that got me all the way on board with the show.  i found the "new twist" to be interesting but was not excited about it until ep5.  Having read "the mists of avalon" by marion zimmer bradley, I was disappointed at the lack of depth to the female characters; I'm also VERY confused that morgana isn't a magic user.  granted I'm not well-versed in arthurian lore, but I've never heard of her not being associated with magic.  

the reason I like this show is the exploration of interpersonal relationships, esp. those between merlin and arthur, and gwen and everybody.  that's prolly why ep5 sealed my interest - that aspect finally started to get complex.  one thing that makes this show engaging is we know abstractly how things turn out, so one of the show's drawing points for me is seeing how it'll get there.  how does the whole banishment-of-magic thing affect merlin's future?  how does the show get from gwen+merlin (kinda sorta maybe) to arthur+gwen+lancelot, esp since she's a handmaiden, not a noble?  when's uther gonna die, and how?  and what *is* morgana's backstory?  how much of the arthurian legend will the show try to cover - will they get to galahad?  how are they gonna fit so much story into just 8 more episodes, as I'm under the impression there will only be 13 eps total (am I wrong)?

I think this mini series is a test to see if it viable as a regular series. We most likely won't see Uther die. This is a story about before they became legends. As far as Morgana she is suppose to marry Arthur and perhaps later when she dables with magic it will change her into the Morgana we know and she will play the woman scorned role. What happen to the witch in the 1st episode spell  book. I always thought Morgana took it?

The newer episodes we start to see Morgana become more associated with the magic.

Does anyone know how many episodes this is supposed to have? I am really enjoying it (which surprises me!)

13 episodes

we only 5 more left

Episode 8 was cool i love that this show is full of difficult intresting and controversional decisions but i was routing for the bad guy when him and the king were fighting. Its awesome that were finding out more about Uthers mysterious past however i think he is totally out of line cause She said she didnt know what was gonna happen and that they were friends.Why has she suddenly popped up now though?She was right about Uther  though I cant believe he said that he wished that Arthur was never born, that was cold.

it was great episode she gave him an heir and his wife died. the balance between life and death but I'm annoyed at merlin the dragon warn him that Arthur was the only use the sword but uthur did there were no consequence?, there should been some consequence of that action and merlin throw the sword into lake was just too easy

What exactly was Merlin to do when Uther wanted to use the sword that he said was fit for a king? He is a mere servant, he had no idea that the king would be the one walking into the armory, or I am sure he would have hid the sword out of sight.

As far as a punishment, the dragon was mostly disappointed that Uther was not killed, and Arthur was ruling with the user of the sword. The fact that it is in the lake, only keeps it safe until the day comes that Arthur needs to wield Excalibur.

i really don't know but merlin if you watch throughout the season is a good liar and he lied to Uther many times to protect Arthur so i don't see why he couldn't lie to him and say there something wrong with the sword.
