User blog comment:Morganaforever/What annoys you most in the main characters?/@comment-4879894-20120508133547

Thanks for your very interesting blog, but I'm sorry, many points are highly questionable.

First, Morgana. It's one of the best well written character. It follows a very progressive line. It begins in To Kill the king and reaches his turning point in the Fire of Idirsholas. First of all, Morgana suffers of her relationship with Uther that leads her to hate him, but she was hesitant in the beginning. When she found out about her magic, she was completly lost and alone. Nobody understood her : She feared that Uther finds out about her skills and execute her ; Gaius acted cowardly (he tried again to turn a blind eye, like The Dragon said) and Merlin feared the reactions of his guardian. In the Nightmares begins, she was ready for the picking ; unfortunately, Aglain, who would have been a nice mentor, was killed. The place is empty for Morgause : it's not a surprise if Morgana became so quickly that close to Morgause. The High Priestess was her half sister, she is the first to recognize her as a highly skilled witch and to fuel her hatred for Uther. Her change between the series 2 and 3 was not too drastic then, as she already changed along the series 2 between The Nightmare begins and ''The Fires of Idirsholas. ''Morgana is so full of hate against Uther that she doesn't make anymore difference between him and her friends, because she knows that they will never give her a hand to overthrow the king or worse, they will try everything to stop her. I fear I'm going to say something you will not like : the problem is not the character but it's the acting. The constant smirking of Katie Mc Grath ruined the complexity of the character.

About Merlin, I don't have time to answer, but, in few words I would say that his difficulties to make up his mind is an essentiel aspect of his personality and his humanity.

I completly agree about Arthur. His behaviour became ridiculous. I hope the writers are going to find something new and more credible.
