Actually, the questions UNDER my signature are Waterwecna's! So it is her you disagree with! :)

Still, I do think that Merlin played a BIG part in Mordred turning evil. Mordred's outburst when Kara was first captured made it obvious that he had known for a long time how much Merlin wants to kill him(for Arthur's sake) from the evil looks he kept shooting at him for a long time, without Mordred doing something evil. On the contrary, he betrayed his only friend, Morgana, to join Arthur and was very loyal, so he didn't deserve that reaction from Merlin.

As for Arthur, maybe he was right in Kara's case, but generally his opinion towards magical beings have not changed! I think he would be hunting druids too, had he not sworn to the druid boy in The Herald of New Age that he will respect them.

As for Gwen, yeah, she was a background figure in this episode, and it was awesome that all the spotlight was on Mordred and explain how he turned evil!

So I guess it's not a complete disagreement...maybe a 50% disagreement at best. Not that it matters, everyone's entitled to an opinion!
