What's extra frustrating is that, with these writers, you KNOW it isn't actually a case of 'what will be serious enough', but just 'when do we want to deal with it?". Morgana's life was in danger in S1, but Uther didn't bother to try and use magic to save her until S2. Nor did he suggest it for Arthur in all the times his life was in danger. I fear that when we get the magic reveal, they will just throw it away on something quite minor like a 'plot of the week' when Merlin didn't bother for all the other 'plots of the week' :( I'm hoping I'm wrong on that.
I was saying to a8c-sock the other night that if they mess up the magic reveal, they will have finished undermining ALL the things fandom has been speculating over and writing and vidding about for 4 years. We've already had Morgana's turn to the dark side, Arthur as King, the Lancelot/Gwen romance - all of those things have been robbed of the big epic development we were expecting. The reveal is the only thing left now. PLEASE DON'T MESS IT UP.
