I agree wrt the characterisations of Arthur, Lancelot and Merlin - the show does very well with them.
wrt Arthur hearing Merlin casting the spell at the Afanc - one can make a good case for it but I suspect the producers intent is that Arthur doesn't know, which I think is one of the story telling weaknesses.
wrt featuring both the girls: although the show is called "Merlin" IMO it's primarily about Merlin and Arthur with the other 4 regulars being supporting characters. We don't usually get balanced amounts of Gaius and Uther either...
