User blog comment:Morganaforever/Thoughts on "Morgana's Death"/@comment-5684105-20121210073412

Yes, I do support the death penalty. :-) Yeah, like you I don't want to get into a debate, but here's what I think. For someone like Morgana, who is nothing but a mass murderer (no matter how "tragic" her story is, all criminals have their own sad history and problems) it could be imprudent and unwise not to execute them. Criminals, like killers, are not puppies that can be locked away so they don't bite. She's a danger to the common good. Innocent lives will not be safe with people like this alive, unless you would rather keep them under lock and key the rest of their lives, but even then they are still a real threat. Sure, if the government finds another way, fine. But I can never say that it would be wrong to put such a criminal to death. But this is really another topic really since I doubt Morgana will be "executed" if she dies, she will die in battle if anything.

I'm not saying I want her to die absolutely. If the writers come up with a believable redemption or something I won't complain. But I think it's unlikely, but maybe I'll be surprised. I too still remember the "good Morgana" and so still feel a little for her, but she is soooo far gone. How can she change her outlook in a couple of episodes? Like I said, maybe they will surprise me. But if she does die, is killed by Emrys, I will feel...not happy (can't say that, her fans will get mad at me), but relieved and will have the sense of "Finally!". The sense that Merlin did what had to be done, finally.

And what is this about Morgana being "destined to bring back the old ways"? The only person I remember ever saying this is the Dochraid, or am I forgetting something really important? And I really don't have any faith in what she says at all. First of all she's one who supports Morgana's evil ways and dark magic (necromancy and the Teine Diaga). She's an enemy of Emrys who is destined to help bring a time of peace and magic.

The Dochraid calls Emrys a "puny sorcerer". Really? She obviously has no idea what she was talking about. And she wasn't  just being difficult with Merlin, she really underestimated him big time. She also was confident that Emrys didn't have the power to wield a sword forged in a dragons breath. Wrong again. She also seemed surprised that Merlin managed to stop the sword/knife she sent his way. So really, I don't think she is a reliable course about destiny and prophecies of the future. She needs to get her head out of the clouds and see both Emrys and Morgana as they really are.

This is WAY different than the prophecies concerning Arthur and Merlin. The sheer number and strength of the prophecies concerning the return of magic and Albion, the many who know about and believe in them is overwhelming.

So no, I don't believe it is Morgana's destiny to "bring back the old ways". It is Merlin and Arthur who are destined to bring magic back. Maybe if Morgana sees the light she can do her part, but I don't see that she has any destiny in this area. Or none that has been fortold by a reliable prophecy.
