Dear Merlaa

Yes, I realize we are on the same side. It would be kind of pointless of me to try and explain why I believe Freya is a strong character to someone who completely HATED her character, because if they disliked her character THAT much they're not likely to understand my pov at all. Knowing me, I probably would have tried to explain anyway, but it would have been pointless. You not actually disliking Freya is part of the reason I felt comfortable sharing my opinon in such lengthy detail. You don't dislike her, you just don't see her as a strong character, though I do; and like you said, that's okay.

"I liked her from the beggining as a character for the show but I didn't like her attitude in general. I completely understand that she has been through A LOT and that obviously has affected her in many ways, I just can't approve and relate to the outcome." -LOL, the funny thing, Merlaa, is that is almost exactly how I feel about Morgana's character from series 3 onward. I liked her and her part in the story very much, I just don't approve or relate to her attitude about various events in the show.

Speaking of Morgana, since you're apparently a fan of her character, do you mind if I ask your opinon of the potrayal of Morgaine (Morgana) in the film Mists of Avalon? I'm sorry if it's off-topic, since this thread is about Freya, but I was very curious as to what you thought because Mists of Avalon is one of the few Arthurian movies/shows I've seen where Morgana's POV is shown and she is pretty much a sypathetic heroine all the way through. Whereas in a lot of movies/shows she is either the villian, heroine either misunderstood or else TURNED into a villian, or omited from the story completely (such as in the 2004 King Arthur film).

Again, if I've gone too far off topic you don't have to answer, I'm just curious.
