Hey there, Dimitra! You do not disturb me at all. It's an issue that has been bugging me as well to be honest.

I don't know who I should be more sympathetic about. Certainly none of the characters are saints. Merlin and Arthur and Gwen disappointed me in this episode. I am almost convinced that Merlin's aim has changed from having magic accepted to babysitting and protected Arthur. Arthur has almost become a second Uther. Gwen...it's almost war time, and she just flirts with Arthur and chills around. I do not like the way the good characters have become, that's for sure.

Now for the bad side. I don't think they are pure evil. Mordred allied with Morgana which will result in the destruction of both kingdoms. If he swallowed his bitterness and stayed in Camelot, less men would die and Camelot would have an overwhelming victory, since Morgana would not be able to stop Emrys. However, he is only human so I can understand why his personal revenge would matter to him more than the general well-being. I also understand his hatred towards Merlin, Arthur and the knights. They were all his friends but treated him like an enemy after he tried to save his friend, which means that it was a phenomenal friendship and it is duty above all else.

I also understand Morgana's point of view-Arthur had 3 whole years to prove her wrong and bring magic back. Instead of that, he keeps Uther's rules and also allies with the man that made her life hell itself. What more proof does she need that he will become just like Uther?

I will be on Morgana and Mordred's side for this one. Morgana may have been cruel, but if she ruled with Mordred by her side, who is more calm, she would do a great job. I do believe that she could create a fair and just kingdom. Better management than Arthur and Gwen anyway. Too bad this will not happen!

As for the other issue-yes, I too was very startled with Morgana. I think learning who Emrys is made things worse for her. All their experiences, their talks about magic, the poisoning, the scene in the tears of uther pendragon, all her chances to have him killed...it all must have had a huge impact on her. In addition, Emrys has been her nightmare for so many years that it has almost driven her insane. However, I think that Merlin can still reach her if they have a conversation.

That's what I think will happen. Before and during their battle, Merlin and Morgana will both explain their side and have a magical fight. After the fight, Morgana loses and pleads for his help. Then, it's up to Merlin to help her or exterminate her.

So I do believe Morgana comes to her senses in the end. Why else would she ask for Emrys' help in her vision? I just hope that, whatever happens, it is believable, and she gets a very good and proper ending!
