I just hope that Alexander Vlahos is a good actor and that bad scriptwriting does not ruin his performance like what happened with Agravaine and the Series 3 Morgana (too much smirking from them mainly due to bad scriptwriting). I agree with most of the things you have said except for one thing, Mordred cannot be more powerful than Merlin because it has always been stated that Merlin will be the most powerful sorcerer and making Mordred more powerful would ruin what has been said about Merlin earlier in the show. I do think his powers, like Morgana's, will rival Merlin's in Series 5, the main reason why he could do powerful magic when he was younger (when killing those Knights) unlike Merlin was mainly because he was more experienced at the time, not because he will be more powerful than Merlin.
