Hey there Chris :-)

I read your comments. I actually admire your view on Morgana, it must be real love (for a character, I mean) :-D

At the same time, that is what I meant when saying that her actions are not dealt with critically enough. I know that we all tend to see the best in those we like and would like to forget about the bad things. I agree with you that she can't just go back to Camelot and that in the end all will be forgotten. In my opinion, it may be different if she was really just someone who fights against those she considers to be her enemies in a "normal" way, but what we see on the show is a sadistical evil character, killing and tormenting without a reason. And she not just contributed in killing the king but she definitely killed him. He destroyed him before and made him that weak so that the Gleeman could mortally wound him and she reversed the healing spell which would have saved Uther's life. It was her alone, with the help of Agravaine (actually, he was killed by four people... but the final cut was made by Morgana since Merlin would have saved him if she hadn't intervened).

If she was a villain who is misguided and suffered a trauma, for example, someone who doesn't take pleasure in the misery of others and still has a rest of humanity inside, it would be different. Unfortunately, they ripped her off of her humanity and made her a self-absorbed monster which makes it impossible to redeem her. That is, if she wasn't possessed or enchanted (still hoping for that!).

She also has never been described as someone who simply wants to make magical people and magic be accepted after season one. She doesn't care about it anymore because all that counts is her madness and power. Innocent people, magical people, neither of it is of importance for her, no matter what she claims. She is brutal and cruel and has lost her mind completely.

As someone else wrote before, I find it absolutely inappropriate to show a villain on a family show who obviously is supposed to make the (also young) viewers think that killing her parents (Uther) and torturing others is justified up to a certain point and that it is totally okay to still like such a character. The protagonists need to show the audience that what Morgana did and does is plain wrong and not to be excused at all. The show totally fails to provide a certain moral standart in regard to this which is dangerous for a family show.
