Merlin season 1 episode 7: The gates of Avalon *Still rewatching* So.... I didn’ rememer this episode being so much fun in the beginning. With Merlin being the ultimate wingman and being the last to catch on to the enchantment Arthur is under. (By the lady Sophia. The sidhe. You know who). So, Arthur is all in love and stuff, (Merlin covered in rotten vegetables) and asks Uther to marry this woman. So... I get Uther’s initial reaction. Which is... laughter. And “You’ve only known each other for two days.” This is dad Uther. I like this Uther, because the reaction makes sense. Two seconds later he just throws that out the window. He orders, and I’m going to repeat myself, he ORDERS LADY sophia and her father to be executed. Despite being treated as royal guests before. EXECUTED. Seriously. Uther didn’t even consider they had magic. Nobody told him shit. Heck, MERlin just found out Arthur was enchanted. And yet, Uther was like: My son wants to marry this royal woman, even against my wishes? Guess I have no choice but to chop her head off. What.... the fuck..... Uther.
