Hi Afons glad to hear you agree with me about what I stated about Agravaine on the show. I mean you simply have to wonder what was the show thing with that character overall because nothing about the character during Series 4 made sense at all.

An as for Mordred along with the simple interaction of Merlin and Mordred overall. I think when it comes to Series 5 Mordred and Alexander Vlahos his performance and unique take on the character was great and I enjoyed his performance throughout Series 5. However I do agree with you Mordred was handled extremely poorly and overall simply sloppy in Series 5. Having no acknowledgement of his characters history during his 3-Episodes during Series 1 and 2 was sad to see not acknowledged in some way during Series 5 that showed some signifcants of the history of the character. I mean even if the acknowledgement was small it need to mentioned in some form because you got think there were some viewers watching the showing wondering who is the new guy or is this real Mordred. An your right not having Mordred acknowledge he still has magic until Episode 9th was just sad to see.

In the end I think what should of been done with Mordred throughout all of Series 5 is he should of had 3-Separte important story lines. These story lines should of been flashbacks telling about his history leading up to Arthur's Bane, the present day story line with the events of Arthur's Bane and a more heavily involved story line of him as a Member of The Knights of The Round Table and final a 4-Episode Story Arc of his turn into the villain of the story. Also throughout Series 5 Mordred should of tried and acknowledge and convince Merlin that there history and his last words to him has changed an he wants to try and be friends again. Like have him and Merlin have entire big scene and conversation about there history and those final words he stated to Merlin. Also throughout Series 5 Mordred should of been using Magic or at least in some way the same as Merlin or Morgana did throughout Series 5. In the end with Mordred during Series 5 Alexander Vlahos performance was great and he did a great job. However like you stated the show did a poor job in the use of him during Series 5 overall.

Now as for your idea about Alvarr saving Morgana I do like that idea because like you stated it would of covered had Alvarr returned or in this case simply acknowledge his character and the history he had with Morgana. An like you stated it would of shown how violent Sarrum was the torture he inflicted on bot Morgana and Aithusa. However I do think it was stupid to have Sarrum as the one who held Morgana prisoner and he didn't have Magic or at least someone working for him that had Magic using it to hold Morgana and Aithusa prisoner and torturing both of them. An the reason I say this in because Morgana is essentially the 2nd most powerful person with Magic on show with Merlin being #1 or essentially in his own person list. An I always thought it would of been an interesting idea of ALvarr held Morgana prisoner because all that Morgana has done throughout her time after her meeting Alvarr might of actually caused more pain and trouble for some people with Magic an Alvarr might of been one of those people. But overall I do like your idea because it would of been nice and overall simply right to have the show acknowledge there history more like Alvarr for excample.
