No worries about the Smallville references I don't mind them at all. Now as a Smallville Villain there version of Lex Luthor was one of the best villains the show ever had and at his end in Season 7 they did give the character an alright ending. However by killing him off in the show an referencing and the shadowy appearance kind of down graded the impact of his return in the final episodes of the show because you kind of saw it coming his return. An don't get me wrong I fully enjoyed his return in the finally of the show and it was great to see him back. However his return just didn't feel the same or have the same impact of when he was on the show during his Season 1-7 run. An I think one of the main problems of why that might of happened for me and maybe anyone else who might of noticed this certain Issue was that he was real killed off at the end of Season 7. An then following Season 7 he was still heavily referenced and maded shadowy appearances up until his return as being alive. An plus he was also killed twice with the second time being by Oliver Queen.

Now Lex Luthor from Smallville and Morgana did have some what similar stories in a sense of were there paths would lead them in the future. However to me at least there no where near the same types of villains. An one of the main reasons I say this with Morgana if she was anywhere near the villain Lex Luthor is she would never have been presented the way she was during Series 1 and 2. With Lex Luthor during the early Seasons of Smallville he might of not been the main ultimate villain of Clark Kent/Superman he would end up to be during his final seasons of Smallville. However he was still a bad guy and a overall villain he just worked a lot behind the scenes in the shadows. I mean if ever read the early days of Lex Luthor in the comics even before he became aware of the Man of Steel you find out he was not a good person at all. Mind you more spoiled rich kid but the kid had a dark mind. With Morgana she was a good person before Pandora's Box if you will opened and everything went to hell but in the end before her current fall from grace she was a good person.

In the end if the show continues on past Series 5 there are loads of more stories you can tell with Morgana without having her die at the end of Series 5. I mean some that come to mind for me is the main one of her getting redemption. Others can be her teaming up with Merlin on adventures the whole Merlin and Morgana romance idea that some group of fans of the show always want to see and loads more. An with her redemption it shouldn't be easy or simple it should be hard and a challenge thats a more interesting of a story to see in the end.

An I just want to state I do agree with you that her time as the shows main villain should come to a end in Series 5 because 3 Series of her as the shows main villain is enough. An like you stated you don't want to have her role as the shows main villain get old and have villain story lines get repeated all over again. However if the shows continues she can still be a main focus of the show and a main part of the show story but she just doesn't need to be the shows main villain anymore.
