I’ve always liked the contrast between Arthur’s court and Uther’s, even before Arthur was officially king you could see the difference, and I know the two situations are vastly different; Huinth requested audience with Uther through Arthur, so it was more official (still, remember when Mithian came to ask for Arthur’s help?) and Drea seems so young and terrified. Still, the contrast is still keenly felt (can you imagine Uther bending down to comfort a frightened kid?). As someone’s pointed out before about the fact that Arthur hardly wore his crown or properly sat on the throne, this was one of the other ways Arthur wasn’t just a king. I just wish we had seen it more, or at least not so subtly.
And, hey, if you still think it’s an unfair comparison, how about considering it a direct attack on Uther as a person? because I’m very found of those.
