I was originally disgusted with Arthur and Merlin in this episode but since looking at Kara's personality, I've realised that she was a nasty piece of work, despite her beauty. I suppose I felt so sorry for Mordred that it blinded me to the fact that Kara was a bad person. Also Kara is a pretty girl and I have sometimes taken a while to realise that even if they are beautiful on the outside, a person can be horrible on the inside.

I still think executing her was a bad decision on Arthur's part but unlike before I realise that he did the right thing for Camelot since Kara might have turned into a serial killer if left alive for too long. However the decision, while good for Camelot, was bad for Arthur although he didn't realise it at the time and it has put him in mortal danger because Mordred is in the same mindset that I was in when I first saw the episode; disgusted and enraged, although unlike me, Mordred now actually hates Arthur as well. I never hated him I was just a bit repulsed by his decision but now that I've had a week to think about it I've changed my mind.

I'm still a bit pissed with Merlin for being a hypocrite and I think he made a mistake by betraying Mordred. Basically he and Arthur told Mordred "you're our future enemy so we're going to destroy your love life", so of course Mordred would turn against them; Merlin should have just left Mordred alone when he smuggled Kara out of Camelot. I think Mordred could have controlled Kara's violent tendencies if Merlin had allowed him to.
