Why you ship Uther/Morgana: I automatically shipped Uther/Morgana from episode one because that little scene they had together had such palpable foreshadowing. You just knew right then and there that this young girl was the only person who would stand up to the tyrannical king (plus my need to put the two hottest characters in ANYTHING together). From then on it grew as I witnessed more of this power oriented relationship. Seeing Uther struggle to control Morgana and her calling him out on his actions is just mesmerising. Something that wouldn't have been achievable without the amazing chemistry between Tony and Katie [so I kind of ship them too shhh].
Mostly I'm just a complete sucker for the power dynamic. That constant struggle and conflict to be on top and control where this thing is going. All with a constant undercurrent of love. He's a bit of a bastard but he loves Morgana more than even she realises. You can see that he seeks her acceptance

He's a bit of a bastard but he loves Morgana more than even she realises. You can see that he seeks her acceptance and understanding. He refutes it to Arthur but it's written all over his face. THIS. ♥
Why you ship Uther/Morgana: THE HOT. Oh, and the fact that they're pretty much married. I've found their dynamic really interesting from the start - yes, he's doting and protective (when they aren't fighting) but it's almost domestic, with a darker undercurrent. It's all the more noticeable because of how differently Uther is with his actual child. And Morgana knows exactly how to manipulate him, is very aware of her power over him. I love the push and pull between them. Your favourite shippy moment in season one: That time in episode eight when they were on screen together. THAT WHOLE TIME. Recommend an Uther/Morgana fanwork: The Last Beautiful Thing by shantirosa. Other pairings/characters you like: GWEN. And Arthur and Merlin (and Morgana and Uther but that goes without saying.)

Why you ship Uther/Morgana: Like other people have said above, I love their power dynamic. They both wield their own sorts of power over each other and, in that way, they're equals. Uther would never bully Morgana in the same way he does Arthur because he knows she would bully him right back. Also, THE HOTNESS. Your favourite shippy moment in season one: Umm, all of it? I especially love the little looks Uther shoots Morgana during The Gates of Avalon when Arthur is demanding permission to get married. I love how he's seeking out her reaction, and how he kind of wants to have a little laugh with her over Arthur's ridiculousness. It's the little things, people. =D Recommend an Uther/Morgana fanwork: Other pairings/characters you like: Merlin/Arthur is kind of a given on this show, but I also like Arthur/Gwen just because I'm a sucker for anything related to King Arthur/Guenevere.

Uther would never bully Morgana in the same way he does Arthur because he knows she would bully him right back. TRUTH!
Also MAD MEN + JANE AUSTEN = AWESOMENESS!
Mind if I friend? I need more Austenites on my f-list given that I have an occasional need to rant about my love for her, usually accompanied by anger or love for various adaptations. Though I feel like I should admit upfront I prefer the more recent S&S to the Emma Thompson one, I feel slightly guilty for it, so I thought I should tell.
Definitely, I'll add you right now! Merlin, Mad Men & Jane? We are like ~meant to be~ friends. =D
I always need more Austenite friends as well. Sometimes I can't stop myself from talking about the novels or all the different adaptations. Don't feel guilty about which adaptations you like! Though, I have to admit, I've only seen pieces of the new S&S, not the whole thing yet.
Oh the new S&S adaptation is fantastic. It made me get Marianne and Edward, I never got them, I never liked them before, but that adaptation made me think, oh wait, she's really young and he's trying to do the right thing. ...see I can't help myself, I just love talking about it so much.

Why you ship Uther/Morgana: Well, first of all, hot. Second of all, I think it really is a pairing of equals - yeah, Uther's got the upper hand as king, but Morgana knows how much he cares about her. And she cares about him, too. And they hate each other. And they can call each other out when they make mistakes. AND ALSO HOT. (I am shallow, in case you didn't notice.) Your favourite shippy moment in season one: Hm. I'd have to say that A Remedy to Cure All Ills was when I was really sold on the pairing, but especially when she wakes up and Uther's the happiest we ever really see him in the series. Recommend an Uther/Morgana fanwork: Amour Courtis by shetiger Other pairings/characters you like: Pretty much everyone, although my favorite other pairings are Gwen/Morgana and Merlin/Morgana. And I'm giving Arthur/Merlin another shot, so I'll let you see how that goes. Other pairings/characters you dislike: Like I said, I'm not the hugest fan of Arthur/Merlin.

Other pairings/characters you dislike: I don't dislike any of the characters - I don't even dislike the pairings I don't ship - they just don't interest me.
