User blog comment:Morganaforever/Mordred's role in series 5 (SPOILERS AHEAD!)/@comment-3012002-20120602015503/@comment-4814726-20120602021701

Like I said in the conversation I hadwith Rod12 and Morganaforever I think Mordred will be good in the beginning. Not allied with Morgana since he hasn't got any scenes with Katie. I think that Mordred could look into why Merlin hates him and learn that apparently he's going to kill Arthur. When Mordred confronts Merlin he tells him that they're pitted against each other because Mordred also knows that it's Merlin's destiny to be morgana's doom. Mordred brings up the idea of cheating fate and being allies so none of those things happen. Merlin, who's been cold to Mordred this whole time considers the idea, but still acts a bit cold to Mordred.

Then they could be allies when they have to save both Morgana and Arthur from something. They would use magic against their enemies side by side. Another scene could be Arthur and company getting attacked by bandits while both Merlin and Mordred use magic on the sidelines to beat the bandits. Both Merlin and Mordred notice this and are slightly uncomfortable about how good a team they make.
