This episode is awesome, the way Mordred's powers are shown. We do not get to see a child Merlin, who is born with magic and Morgana's powers are shown to develop much later, but the potent power of Mordred was astounding. No wonder Uther drowned the little druid children. Cruel act bordering on genocide but things like this are bound to scare him.

BTW, As it is shown Morgana had powers of seer but her magic starts to develop only after Merlin comes to camelot. So is it because, she is the darkness to his light et al and his presence actually acts as her catalyst without them knowing anything?

I think it's kinda unfair that like, if your destiny tells you to do bla bla bla then you have to just do it. You can make your own destiny right?
