User blog comment:Morgana High Priestess/In the end,Morgana could have become good!/@comment-5764349-20130104215429

First of all, I liked Morgana and I would really liked some kind of redemption to her, but when we reached the final episode it was impossible. I think something like this:

In season 3 she could have been enchanted, brainwashed, or misguided; all of which have some sort of "cure" (AKA Merlin convincing her, or healing her, or etc).

The misguided idea died when she suddenly killed some innocents at the end of the season so the knights would obey her ("hey look at me, im really evil!!!"), but it was already difficult to pull (plot-wise) from the moment she almost made them kill Gwen (but you could argue that she didn't want her dead, just gone).

The ehnchented or brainwashed idea, which are kind of the same thing, for me died when the season ended and she was still evil (and even more evil because Morgouse was a bit dead). This because you cant make someone to be enchanted for more than one seasson.

In season 4 she was already evil, with no good excuse, and everybody knew it. Nevertheless she showed some kind of emotions in certain moments  (Uther's death, Merlin's capture) that could evolve into some kind of redemption. Guess what, it didn't. However season 4 ended with Aithusa helping her, which was a really big WTF, and opened tons of new possibilities.

Which didn't happened. Season 5 started and she had being in a hole for two years, so now every crazy thing that she would do had an excuse, the Aithusa plot never develop (the only things Aithusa did were healing her and making a sword), and she grew crazier and crazier until there was no real way for her to reedem herself, so they just killed her. Actually i was afraid that they would say out of nowhere that she was also brainwashed with the Teine Diaga, which even when it would let her become good again it would also make useless everything she had done in the last three seasons.

For me the point of no return for Morgana being evil was the start of season five when we learn that she had spent almost all of the time gap prisoner in a hole, and somehow she escaped alone (I mean if at least Merlin had learnt about this in series-time and helped her we could have done something, but like this it was hopeless).

Fanfiction is good for feeling better about this xD.
