User blog:Morganaforever/Is Kilgharrah a good prophet?

Alright, in this post, I'll discuss an issue that's been bugging me since series 1: Everyone's favorite dragon, Kilgharrah. Whenever this guy appears, I'm sure something's bad gonna happen-I think he gives the worst advice in the 5 kingdoms, and in addition works for himself only.

Why I doubt him: Here are a few examples of his inconvenience:

1. When it came to Morgana
"The witch must die, as she should have done long ago. You must kill her. You must eradicate the witch, the Lady Morgana."

- Kilgharrah to Merlin

So, Kilgharrah told Merlin to kill Morgana, because she is destined to be evil. Merlin poisons her, and in return, when she returns she has become evil.

Also, in this, I may add that the Dochrai foresaw that Morgana is destined for greatness, which is bring back the old ways, which contradicts her with Kilgharrah

2. When it came to Aithusa
"For you named HIM after the light of the sun. The white dragon bodes well for Albion and the future you and Arthur share."

- Kilgharrah to Merlin

Double inconvenience. First, wrong gender prediction. Second, the dragon allied with Kilgharrah's worse enemy, Morgana, who wants to make Camelot her own and put an end to Merlin and Arthur's reign. Do I even need to explain any further?

3. When it came to Mordred
"The druids speak of an alliance, between Mordred and Morgana."

- Kilgharrah to Merlin.

Almost identical to No.1, Kilgharrah has convinced Merlin that Mordred is evil, so Merlin attempts to have him killed TWICE, and Mordred is probably (or if not, then he will be) more evil than ever. This doesn't need further explaining either.

4. When it comes to destiny in general
Kilgharrah has said that destiny is inescapable. In fact, it's the first thing he taught Merlin back in season 1. HOWEVER, now in season 5 he says that "there are many paths"????? Still, knowing that, he insists that his decisions involving merlin, arthur, morgana, mordred, albion e.t.c are always the right ones? So far, this is not the case, just saying...

And finally, a dialogue from the recent episode: Merlin: I think Mordred's dangerous. KilgharraH: You have a good cause to doubt him.

Well, DUH, his only reason is what you told him back in series 1 and 2...

So, that's all! What do YOU think about Kilgharrah? If I was Merlin, I would definitely not take all his words as seriously as the Bible, just saying... Let me know about your own opinions!
