Board Thread:Rewatching "Merlin" - Season Five/@comment-5102537-20140426100805/@comment-24785400-20140426215625

Issy5209, you questioned why Merlin disguised himself as Dragoon when speaking to the Dochraid but I think it was because he didn't want to risk Morgana finding out that he was Emrys.

I realise that, but was questioning why he's still hiding, especially this late in the day (or season), the "keeping the magic a secret" was strangling all the story-lines, all attempts at growth. But why did it even matter, she was blind, she could smell who he was. Would it have mattered if Morgana had found out? It might have moved the story along.

''Anyway, maybe I'll watch this episode one day to see what was going on with the Old Religion. ''

If you ever figure it out Fimber, please let me know!
