The role of a writer is to present a story, and use the most interesting or exciting elements to keep it moving forward... with the limited time they get to come up with something, and the restrictions placed to keep it becoming a "story" not a documentary, they can't account for a story behind every single thing that happens.. that's what viewers are for! So it's great you're asking questions, but they won't ever be answered- there is no answer, so no matter what there's no right or wrong! But I'll try to answer them. Maybe your mind will be at ease if we can agree. Take this with a pinch of salt, just as you should the sensation inside you that arouses such questions, as we have to remember, as much as we don't like it being, it's just a TV show! (Ok, it's got a bit of a cult behind it too ;) Well here goes! This is just for fun! '''Well, why did he roar at the guard when Balinor was killed? I find myself roaring sometimes- besides, he's the most powerful sorcerer in the world, by hell he can roar if he wants to! Plus with all the supernatural events that had been happening, he had all reason to do something crazy. Why, he should've done more than roared.''' '''I agree this is a mystery, moreover linking to the bigger question, why she acted like her sister was dead and where she was during the invasion.. where she came from? Did she sense her sister dying? Just like Morgause walked in on her unconscious sister, Morgana did the same... But I didn't think of that, I think it's just an impulsive build-up of anger. I quite liked it.''' '''This is just a matter of opinion, I've never thought this. But I haven't analysed this well enough, so I don't have a say. I do see where people are coming from though how they say Kilgharrah seems to create Merlin's destiny.. well ultimately one's choices are up to themselves.. Kilgharrah isn't manipulating Merlin, if anything Merlin is manipulating Kilgharrah, Merlin was free unlike the dragon...''' '''A common question- the writers obviously realise what they've done! Have you seen some of the theories on Gwaine-looks-like-Cenred's blog? I think Morgana will be redeemed in the end and may actually be necessary for uniting Albion or bringing back magic.''' Haha, that's a question for the BBC prop wizards, or, the fashion gurus of the medieval period! '''... dunno!  He said that? Hmm. I can sort of relate this question to why Morgana still looked so pretty, with her makeup and so on, when she was living in a hut in Series 4... maybe she maintained herself (makeup, dreadlocks) with magic... maybe Merlin maintains his clothes with magic! There is no doubt, have you seen how many things he can clean at once with magic, all while reading a book? Also look at the illusions Nimueh casts of her age! :p''' '''Arthur was just so insecure, too afraid to believe his Arthur was really dying... the love of his Arthur he felt probably sparked back all his teachings of hatred towards magic.. you know what I mean, when your love for someone strengthens, they value they teach you strengthens... I guess it's just a human-thing, the blame game! Without proof!''' '''Well, they didn't have FaceTime during that era! Haha''' '''Just like when Morgana opened the veil, the magic just pushed them out of the way! Cause it could! We see that in a lot of movies when people unleash things...'''
 * Why, in The Crystal Cave s3, did Merlin roar when he woke up in Morgana's bedroom?
 * 1) Why did Morgana start screeching 30 seconds after she found Morgause's "dead" body?
 * 1) Why do Gaius and Kilgharrah always give bad advice and still come out looking good?
 * 1) Why name a dragon light of the sun and have it prophesized to be a good omen for Merlin, then have it bring his worst enemy back to life?
 * 1) Why have each king of Camelot have ten different crowns throughout one episode?
 * 1) Why are there symbols of the Old Religion in Uther's throne room?
 * 1) Why does Merlin seem to have an endless supply of the same boots, jacket, shirts pants and scarves and still say he's poor?
 * 1) Why does Arthur think magic is responsible for his father's death when he was stabbed byan assassin?
 * 1) Why does Freya never get any face time?
 * 1) Why does the alternate dimension thing blow over Merlin so easily? (Love int eh time of Dragons. The manticore came from a different dimension)

Wait, why do you mean by "blow over"?

Expanding on the above... '''Could the Cailleach be considered a monster? Hmm.''' '''The writers have stated clearly before that they're not recounting Arthurian legend, but taking parts of it and placing it on their own story... they're 're-telling'. Modernising. Spicing up.''' What happens after you die?
 * If there are alternate dimensions where monsters come from, how come the manticore is the only one we've seen?
 * If there are other dimensions, how can this connect with Arthurian legend based MERLIN since thats in the doctor who category?
 * Why does Doctor Who refuse to do a crossover with Merlin since that would obviously be the most awesome thing to ever occur on television?

Why am I asking these questions?

So I can answer them, derrp!
