I agree with you Druidinhiding, they always introduced these storylines and plots in one episode and then abandoned it, as though deeming it unimportant. The cliffhanger we got last finale suggested that Aithusa would be central to the plot and that we would learn her reasons for helping Morgana that day, but we never were told, we could only speculate. And then the dragons, like Mordred after being introduced at the beginning, were pushed into the background for mostly a bunch of filler episodes apart from The Disir. They did the same thing with characters. Gilli, Alice, Freya, Alvarr, etc etc.

I wouldn't like a Q&A, I'd rather have had these questions answered within the story. I also sort of dread to think what their responses could be. What if they're just like "Oh, well. We weren't really focusing on that so that we could incorporate these super episodes where Gwen gets to be evil for a while and Merlin turns into a woman. I mean, in comparison it's obviously more interesting."
