i had loved the new mordred too and he is the biggest reason why i have continued to watch the show this series because i needed to see where the show was heading with his character but i was mostly disappointed last night. i don't think the writers wrote his transition from the good guy to the bad guy properly or gave enough time to developing this because one episode to establish mordred's personal change wasn't really enough. he spent nearly an entire season saying how loyal he was to arthur, how much trust he put in merlin and established some good friendships but in one episode during which he not seem impressed with his friend's actions either had made him changed his mind completely to think bad of him. i think its shame that the writers didn't have arthur allow mordred into the court when he gave his friend a second chance to go free, showing mordred how much arthur values him as a friend when i think had the story been written properly and who the characters were properly, that arthur would had both given mordred the chance to talk to his friend and also had mordred in the court with them so he was able to see athur give his friend a second chance. i think its shame the writers seem to be following nearly all the storylines of most of the other portrayals of the legends rather than do their own story because it would be more interesting to see mordred be the good guy instead of a predictable bad guy but i guess they want to make him in some way the bad guy and needed some excuse, despite it being quite a poor choice of a story, to make him change his mind before the last two episodes and found they only had one episode to show the story with. i guess they felt they had to purposely exclude mordred from being a part of the scene where arthur says to kara that he will set them free if she apologised because it would had meant that mordred would not had turned against camelot. but the show has promised some little twists at the end and people have said not everything is as it seems particulary plays mordred so hopefully this is still going to happen and hasn't already supposedly happened and i will be happy!!
