He's dynamic, harsh and honest. Merlin could have solved a lot by listening to him, by letting Mordred and Morgana die. His advice is suited to someone who would get these things done, and sadly, that person is not Merlin.

1.) Merlin didn't let Morgana die. He poisons her, and then tells Morgause how to cure her, not exactly what the dragon meant. He likely meant that Merlin should have let her die when she fell down the stairs or kill her through direct means.

2.) Patience is a virtue. Aithusa definitely has a part to play but he hasn't appeared as hostile to Merlin as of yet. I think of Aithusa as a less awesome version of Gollum in that at the end he will play his part for good. And has it actually been said for sure if Aithusa is a female? I mean, the writers did say he was a HE in the show. Sure, the actress said he was a she, but who do we side with?

3.) Once again, Merlin never really tried his best to kill Mordred. Oh, he trips him on a root, I'm sure the bruise will affect him for years to come, boo hoo, bad Merlin tried to hurt the widdle Mordred. That was nothing. He means that Merlin has to kill the little freak and do it either directly or without leaving a giant escape route in his face. Like leave him to die when Arthur was trying to help him escape from the city. Merlin is so half hearted in how he tries to do things. The dragon wants him to kill people, as in stop their damn hearts. Not trip them up or directly tell his enemies how to foil is kill attempts.

4.) Lines are repeated by pretty much everyone all the time. Arthur constantly tells us he doesn't trust magic. Well duh, you told us three seasons back! Or when Arthur tells Gwen he loves her: Well duh, you told us three seasons back! Or when Gaius constantly has to ask Merlin if he's used magic. Well duh Gaius, Merlin doesn't have many other means to do the things he does, does he?

As for destiny, the dragon means that the end result is the same. You can't escape that destiny though there are many paths that will lead to that inevitable fate.

Sorry if I come across as aggressive, not a good day for me. Don't nit-pick, or at least have some good evidence to support you.

He's still an awesome character.
