User blog:It's Good to be the Queen/5 x 11....why Mordred turned

I found this sneak peek for this episode, showing what turned Mordred against Arthur....



Sorry about chopping off Kara (who's opposite of Mordred in this picture), but I wanted everyone to be able to see it. It looks Arthur has just cause (for that legal system during the time) to send Mordred's love to the gallows - attempted regicide. Of course we would have to see the episode to she her reasons. (Arthur did her or her family wrong; perhaps they were part of the slaughter of some druids described in 4 x10 - a raid Arthur led?)  Kara couldn't argue enchantment; whatever her reasons Kara seems like she acts of her own free will. Even if Arthur has qualms about sending her to her death (some scenes in 5 x 11 have Arthur deep in thought - pricked conscience?) at the end of the day he is the king and he can't let so blatant an act go unpunished. Even life imprisonment for Kara would make Arthur look weak as a monarch. Kara committed a crime against the Crown...the punishment is death.

Of course Mordred is outraged. He helped Arthur get Gwen out of Morgana's evil clutches and now Mordred feels betrayed by Arthur. Mordred must have loved Kara (and still does) as much as Arthur loves Gwen. Even if his mind tells him what Kara did was reckless with deadly consequences, Mordred's heart will tell him Arthur has taken a great love away from him. Mordred's heartache will make him susceptible to any Morgana has said, and lead him to join her side.

As a twist, what if Morgana has a hand in this tragedy? We know the high priestesss likes to stack the deck in her favor. What if Morgana enchants Kara to attempt to murder Arthur, like she enchanted Gwen, to convinces Mordred to join forces with her and be her new spy in Camelot (I know, again? )  Remember Morgana is the queen of convoluted plots;  this sounds right up her alley. Kara may never have acted in violence before, but Morgana decides to hex her just to start a chain reaction to lead up to the final battle for Camelot.

My two cents....thoughts?
