Talk:Ygraine Pendragon/@comment-198.144.116.190-20130513111406/@comment-5102537-20130520101135

The producers said (at a convention, I think) that it was the real Igraine (or Ygraine... I always read different spellings and have decided for "Igraine" :-D ).

However, they also said that Uther will kill Morgana when he learns of her powers which he didn't do in the end. They said that Aithusa would play a main part in entire season five and that Mordred would have a lot of  screentime in season five. Not to mention that they said that Uther will make some interesting decisions in season four and that he and Arthur will fight over power - which didn't happen since he was incapable of making any decisions in season four and then died after he told Arthur that he will be a great king.

So I actually don't give anything about the comments. If she was real, I'd like to know why she looked like she was still alive and why she thought that Uther sacrificed her when he didn't. How could Morgause be sure that Igraine would tell Arthur exactly the things that were supposed to turn him against his father? Has she spoken to Igraine before or has somebody who knew Igraine or claimed to have known Igraine told Morgause what Igraine told Arthur? Why did Igraine, if she was real, think that Uther simply sacrificed her when he didn't know that she would die and when he started the Great Purge out of grief because of her death?

The most logical explanation would be that Igraine was a shade or an illusion - or that she was told lies in the afterlife in order to tell Arthur the things she did so that he turns against Uther. It was Morgause's plan, as was evident in the last scene, so she must have known what Igraine would tell Arthur.
