Really good post, I agree most of the way. Morgana no doubt blew the stage away. Some foolish people may think you're biased for Morgana, or people only like her because she's good looking, but that's a lie, I think her character is almost as equally important as Merlin's! It's great having a main villain with as much backstory as the main protagonist, one of the reasons she rocks so much!

I honestly would have preferred Morgause to replace Morgana, with the way she was smirking in Series 3. She was like the annoying little sister of Morgause, trying to be as scheming as her but having infant magic, it sort of annoyed me. But now she really has her own lead. She's a High Priestess, and the new costume complements this so well. It also makes her look older (she is both physically and mentally).
