Trivia / Merlin S 01 E 09 Excalibur

• What Could Have Been: The script on the BBC Website shows that original dialogue between Merlin and the Dragon at that the end was much more ominous than in the final episode, with the Dragon telling Merlin that by letting Uther use Excalibur he effectively cursed the sword to bring about Arthur's doom.
  The Great Dragon: The sword is in the world. It cannot be unmade. But now a curse will forever lie upon it.
  Merlin: What do you mean?
  The Great Dragon: The sword forged by Arthur is now destined to be used against him. It will bring about his doom.
  Merlin: What do you mean? Is Arthur going to die?
  The Great Dragon: Everything dies, warlock, it is only the manner of death that is in question. Your actions have made that choice for Arthur. What’s done cannot be undone.
