First off, I'm so happy that you've succumbed to sarcasticchick's wheedling. It took long enough to drag her kicking and screaming into this fandom, but once you get started it's addictive.
There's so much good stuff here, and unfortunately I haven't got time to comment on it all ATM, but what struck me most of all is your observation of what Arthur knows and his protectiveness of Merlin. In ep3, when he says, "There's no way that Merlin is a sorcerer," Bradley's delivery is so much more of a warning than a declaration. Jo and I've obsessed over this question, and I'm looking forward to your thoughts as you progress through the series.
And as I remind her whenever she starts complaining about the plot holes, "Look, pretty! Swords and longcoats and unicorns, oh my!"
