And what about the food shortage?

Question here, people. If Arthur ever was placed in the stocks, do you think the townsfolk would throw fruit at him? I mean, he IS their prince. On the other hand, IF he was put there, Uther would basically give permission, wouldn't he?

Yes, I probably have a) too much time on my hands, b) watched episode 7 too many times or c) both. :-p

Mmh, good question. We have two possibilities here:

-either Arthur would be put in the stocks but no fruit-throwing would be allowed. I wouldn't be surprised if a different rule would apply for nobility.

-or fruit-throwing would be allowed because, in a way, I can imagine Uther thinking of it as a valuable lesson. But nobody would dare to do it anyway. Except for Merlin. And Morgana of course.

I've been watching HSM's videos on youtube for the past 40 minutes. I actually think you spend your time in a much more productive way than me. :p

Yeah, that's what I thought. Or at least that the people would be unsure enough about the whole thing, they wouldn't dare to test the theory.

Except for Merlin. And Morgana of course.

Oh god, what an image. Morgana and Merlin pelting a stock-ridden Arthur with rotten tomatoes. *g* Of course, Merlin would set himself up because once Arthur is out, he could totally make his servant life miserable. :D

That's what a normal person would do. But knowing Merlin, I really much doubt he would miss the opportunity to take his sweet revenge on Arthur, even if it would mean even worse work conditions after that. Merlin strikes me as a "living in the moment" kind of guy. And I enjoy Arthur making his life miserable so much, I wouldn't dare to want him to change! LOL

I'm in love with that statement because in a round-about way it describes Merlin perfectly. :D
