Right @you Merlaa ;-)

Truly, I am not trying to rain on anyone's parade. I think this plot  with Mordred having a love interest is sweet, and it works. It helps Mordred to get where he's needs to be with deciding to be loyal to the king or not. You see Mordred himself is not a predictable character. Initially, when he appeared in episode 1/2 -- I don't think anyone predicted that he would stab Morgana. Although, I think he recognized that Morgana was not the Morgana he knew. I don't know if you recalled the scene with him confessing to her that Arthur got away. She went into a rage -- stating she wanted Arthur's head. Mordred told her to calm herself.... My point is that Mordred appears to be cool and sort of calculating. This is shown by his actions -- it's hard to determine what he's going to do. That's how his character starts off -- that's what captured the audience. Even in the last episode when he has that confrontation with Morgana. He thrashes her with his magic after making such a profound statement that completely throws her off. He leaves you with a sense of mystery. He's observant and he has magic, and let us not forget he is Druid -- that's what makes him interesting. With that being said, with only three episodes left they give us a predictable plot to move the story along. As for the situation with Gwen I don't think that storyline was predictable at all. I just think they could have finished that storyline half the time. And given us more of a story with Mordred and his love interest. For instance,  a scene where he leaves Camelot and he visits this girl. By setting up this story giving us a bit more of a background. But instead they just put this awesome character in the background to the very end.

No irony -- just a little bit of sarcasm in previous comment.

In all honesty, with such loyal  fans it would have behooved the producers of this show to end the show with 15 episodes instead of 13 -- that would have given the writers more time and us more story.

This is just my opinion -- I guess I just think this show had two great components a good cast and a lot of story to work with. Mostly,  I would prefer to savor the story instead of seeing them rush through it.
