For the first time ever, I considered Merlin and Arthur to be the villains. Until this episode I had always been on their side but now I can understand why Morgana hates Arthur so much. He's the bloody king! He can change laws if he wants. Kara didn't have to die. This is the first time that I can really see traits of Uther within Arthur; his execution of Kara showed that he is not as good and pure as people think he is. I'm not saying he deserves to die, or that Kara was right about him being a tyrant, but I can understand why Mordred turned against him.

Arthur and Merlin sickened me in this episode. Kara was not innocent but if Arthur had let her and Mordred go I'm sure that Mordred would have kept his word and stayed away from Camelot. He was a good and honourable man and it's entirely Arthur and Merlin's fault that he's turned against them. This does give a unique story (about time since so many storylines have been similar in the last three series), even though it was rather sickening; Merlin and Arthut are always portrayed as the heroes but in this episode, Mordred was the hero and they were the villains.

Oh and Merlin was a massive hypocrite. If Freya has been the one locked in the dungeons he would have broken her out and run away with her. His hipocrisy was the thing that really made me so pissed with him in this episode.

By the way it's about bloody time Morgana learned Merlin's true identity. Mordred claimed that she should be able to sense a sorcerer as powerful as Emrys in an earlier episode but Morgana was completely clueless.
