LOL! Yes, someone obviously stuck a magic wand up Uther's butt at some point and he's been suffering from it ever since. That being said, watching Tony Head dig his teeth into that scenery is more than worth it.

The badness doesn't bother me a bit. In fact, I think I'm happy that it's that kind of bad -- I haven't had a show that was campy fun in a long time (Supernatural takes itself a little too seriously to count).
