Hi Alfons I thought I add my thoughts about the show version of below for you to read as well as everything I stated in the previous message above. An looking forward to hearing your thoughts about what I stated about Series 5's Mordred in the message above.

Now on to the topic of the shows version of Agravaine. First off in legend we do know that the character of Agravaine is mainly known as a villain throughout most stories of Arthurian Legend. So having him be a villain on the show wasn't something that for me at least wasn't a bad thing I was perfectly alright with that aspect of the character. What I found so awful and down right annoying about the character was how absolutely and extremely obvious he was being presented as the villain. I mean from the way he acted to the simple way he looked it was simply so obvious that he was the big bad evil villain. I mean even if the show never announced that Nathaniel Parker was playing Agravaine and that the show once again would be having a villain within Camelot the show still made the character so obvious that he was going to be a villain on the show. I mean his first appearance and scene in The Darkest Hour right when he came into the scene I stated oh look there is the newest villain within Camelot that will make everyone look like idiots except for Merlin and Gaius. An another absolutely awful and annoying thing about the characters that you and me have brought up many time is why on earth did the show think it was a good idea to have him appear in all 13-Episodes of Series 5 along with have major screen time and major story lines through out the entire Series. I mean he took so much screen time and stories away from all the members of The Knights of The Round Table or in this case like you and me mainly stated before Lancelot and Gwaine it simply became painful to see. I mean I understand the show probably had some real difficult scheduling difficulties with Santiago Cabrera and having him play Lancelot that I'll give a small pass to for Series 4. But your telling me they couldn't of had a better and bigger story line and screen time for Gwaine during Series 4. Once they officially chose to kill of Lancelot during The Darkest Hour Part Two Gwaine should of real been given an extremely big upgrade for screen time and story line with becoming Merlin's best friend. An basically taking over the role Lancelot had with Merlin during the show run.

An one thing I think should be pointed out with Agravaine that real does prove how awful the character was on the show he was the only real villain or mainly the only villain within Camelot that appeared in all 13-Episodes of a Series. Also he was the only villain that had major screen time and story lines as well. An in the end comparing him to the shows other villains he was actually an awful villain that real no one should of considered him a true threat. An for me at least when Merlin killed him off in the Series 4 finally I had two thoughts about that scene one well done Merlin and two what took you so long. An the main reason I brought up that statement about Agravaine think about Series 3,4 and 5 an the villains overall. With Morgana for example in Series 3 she real wasn't the main villain of the Series she was more of the #2 villain her big sister was real the main villain with King Cenred coming in at #3. An if you combined all three of those characters screen time and story lines as villains of Series 3 Agravaine in Series 4 still had more then them. An that is simply just sad to think the show did that overall during Series 4.

Oh well looking forward to hearing you respond back and your thoughts on the message above and this message as well.
