Ah, I see, Chris, it was about scrolling because of the streaming. Sorry, I had no idea about that! I have already replied, if you wish I can also send it via email :-)

Chris, so you don't think that Morgana is insane and is suffering from a mental disease? Killing thousands of people, torturing people, killing own family members, hating family members up to that extent, enjoying the misery of others is definitely a serious mental illness. Morgana is a mass murderer.

No, Morgana surely wasn't afraid of being sentenced to death when accusing Uther of having killed Gorlois because if she was, she hadn't accused him. She also knew that he wouldn't have killed her just because of that. It would be ridiculous to kill the own ward only because of an accusation made in private. And yes, she has never blamed him before because it was obvious that he had heard this accusation for the very first time in To Kill the King. Moreover, it was obvious that the producers/writers wanted to state out that she simply manipulated him because if they had intended to tell us that she really thought Uther murdered Gorlois they would have let her mention it again and would have made clear to us that she really was convinced of it. Why she fought him from the beginning? Because she had always had a strong will and was naturally rebellous like most children that lost their parents and have to obey strangers. Uther said that she was very much like Gorlois, telling him what he did wrong without regarding the consequences, that is why she fought him and that is what shows that she surely wasn't afraid to blame him for Gorlois' death, but on the contrary, would have told him exactly that. It was totally clear that she used this situation to manipulate Uther because she only blamed him when she had already conspired with Tauren and planned to have Uther killed.

As for the attempts to kill Uther, she tried at least four times. In To Kill the King, in The Crystal Cave, in The Fires of Idirsholas and in The Coming of Arthur before Arthur reconquered Camelot.

Of course she tormented, even tortured Uther with the mandrake root. If that wasn't torture, then what is? She also tormented him when having him watch her killing all the innocents in the court yard and humiliating him while tearing apart his whole life at the same time.

And yes, she genuinely enjoyed Gwaine's torture when she forced him to fight against a dozen of her men only to get some rotten bread. She also enjoyed letting them all starve in the cell, or do we have any reason to assume that she would have brought them a fine meal last minute? Gaius was almost dead already because she let them starve.

Torturing Merlin didn't have any political reason at all. It was simply sadism, as well as torturing Elyan.

Forcing the people to starve only to gain their obedience is what it is, Chris. It is wanting to burn their crops so that they starve. Do you think she would have done some magic and given the burnt crops back to them? To let people starve doesn't mean to let them starve to death but as long as possible to get their obedience.

No, we won't agree on this subject, I suppose :-D. Nevertheless, everyone has the right to speak their opinion and I for one am not doing it to annoy you or anyone else but to set some things straight and to exchange opinions. I respect your opinion on Morgana, of course.
