You made some very good points here.

1. This puppet's master storyline's arc was finally boring and completely pointless. I take that the writers wanted to please the huge number of Morgana's fans, but they ran out ideas. In fact, since series 3, we didn't have the slightest hint of a new idea about the High Priestess. Same old same, 2 series in a row. She became the most boring character of the whole show. Where is her real power ? When she was a the top of the hill, looking at Arthur and co, why she didn't do anything ? What was the utility of the Dragon ? Her flame didn't do any harm to anybody (it was a perfect moment for Merlin to reveal his power : a real threat which they could get rid of only by magic) Why did she let Merlin run away, when he was at her mercy ? In Arthur's Bane, the stunning spell on Merlin was almost lethal, in this episode, it was barely a hit. It's pathetic how much lazy writing is obvious, episode after episode. As if the writers are really tired of the story. Thankfully, this plotline is over (4 episodes wasted). We can hope for something better next week, though I doubt it, since Morgana will be on the stage again.

2. The Dochraid was killed. But... (what a twist !)... everybody thought she was dead ! She wasn't, even if everybody remember the effect of Excalibur from previous episodes. Rdidculous !

3. You're absolutely right about Dragoon. Arthur seemed to forgot the conversation with Gaius in 4.07. Once again, lazy, reckless and negligent writing. Bringing back Dragoon in those circumstances would have made some sense. Instead we've got the pointless Dolma (no offense to CM) and a return to square one.

4. The real good point was Mordred. We got to know more of his real intentions (I made some posts about him) :

- He did not seem to know anything about all the Disir's stuff and the Merthur's decision.

- He believes in what Merlin said : his duty is to become a good knight, to protect Arthur and Camelot. He's sure that magic will return in Camelot.

Please writers don't destroy the only interesting character you built this season.
