Just a guess, but I wonder if part of the reason why people dislike Katie McGrath's acting might be that on some level, they're sensing a self-conscious, shallowness in her nature, which prevents her performances from being able to deliver believability?

I've often wondered whether the writers picked up on that, too, and wrote it into Morgana's character.

Whatever the reason (and it's got to be something, if not that), I always found myself automatically fast-forwarding through all of her scenes (and still do, whenever I revisit the series on dvd) so that I could watch the rest of the cast deliver total believability. I know that sounds horrible, but it is what it is.

I don't dislike Katie McGrath per se - heck, I don't even know her - but let's face it, if an actor isn't hitting the 'believability' button, then something's clearly missing.
