Well it's definitely been put out there that the show isn't very good at linking back to retrospective events. However if this was just the plot line of Series 5 it wouldn't have even been a time jump in the first place.

Anyway I think this could have only worked if Morgana only made major appearances in the opening and final two-parters whilst just having cameos in between. Or they could just set the series around Ruadan trying to free her. It's not like it's an obligation for Morgana to be the main villain all the time, so I don't see any reason why Morgana cannot interchange for a new emerging villain. Also this would have made the episodes more 'multi-stranded' (Series 5 hasn't done this, another BS-fact the producers gave us in interviews) and also with a plotline being set out recursively which rarely ever happens.

And I feel mixed about time jumps though... as long as they do not skip character development and major events I'm fine with it. Because if this show is a 'show' they are going to actually have to show stuff...
