User blog comment:Morgana High Priestess/Could have Morgause brainwashed Morgana?/@comment-7285162-20130319205414/@comment-69.35.203.248-20130505194545

I feel much the same way. You very eloquently put, just about, everything I feel in regards to Morgause. I liked her as a villian. Thought she was great. Her just coming out of nowhere all the sudden threw me for a moment, but when has Merlin ever been consistant?

I felt that she honestly did love Morgana, used her sometimes yes, but she still definately had a strong affection for her sister. I also thought she was a cool older sibling. I mean she gave Morgana a freaking kingdom!

A lot of Morgana fans who desperately wanted Morgana to turn around and be the girl from season one again, like to pretend that Morgause never cared about Morgana and cursed her or whatever, to make her evil. I can understand missing early Morgana, older Morgana herself may have looked back at her youth nostalgically, but I think Morgana honestly wasn't under any kind of enchantment.

She just found someone, maybe the only person in her life who understood her. Who was like her, and willing to put her and her needs first, so she gave that person her affection and loyalty. Plus they had a common goal and, like you said, blood ties.
