I started watching season 2 of Merlin and what bugs me most is the nonexistent character development on behalf of Arthur. It’s like he forgets all he learnt from the previous episode or, even worse, from half an hour ago.

It’s like Gwen told him he shouldn’t treat servants like shit and he’s all like yea sure you’re right. And the second Merlin comes in Arthur treats him like shit. Like ???

Does he have a memory span of a goldfish or does he learn to treat Gwen with respect only cause he’s attracted to her (and so if he’s not attracted to Merlin he will continue to treat him badly) which is not an improvement of his character.
