Morganaforever glad to see you agree with me on Merlin and Morgana an Colin and Katie as actors the two characters and the actors are my favorites of the show. An your right about Morgana's poisoning scene that was were you saw Katie and Colin extent of there acting skills. As for the issue of Merlin's personality and the balance of the good and the bad the light the dark I guess my concern is sometimes the show gets so focused with the concept of Merlin and hiding his magic and overall act of making everyone believe he is just a servant the show forgets that Merlin has Magic and he is a very powerful person. Also puting aside the having magic side of Merlin the show seems to forget sometimes that he is kind of damaged person in a sense he was forced into killing Morgana along with not helping her out more when he should of and she was person he real saw more as a friend than Arthur or Gwen. Mind you I do believe he thinks of Arthur and Gwen as friends even close friends but not entirely the same way he had with Morgana. Also he has had to leave his home and his mom and he was not told about his dad for most of his life and then finally gets to me him briefly only watch him die in front of him. An to the simple point of not being able to tell any of his closes friends who he real is like Morgana, Arthur and Gwen. An the only person besides Gaius who ever found out who Merlin was that wasn't Mordred and bad was Lancelot and what happens to him he recently dies. So overall Merlin is somewhat of damage person that you can see him having a dark personality and doing some bad like what he did in Season One he was still young like you said. However even with all the bad that Merlin has to deal with a daily bases he still shows that he is a good person. Merlin has the ability at least I think to balance the good and bad of his personality the light and the dark of it. Its funny you brought up the first episode and Merlin and Arthur's confrontation in that episode one when they first meet (Arthur says I can beat you with one hand tied behind my back while Merlin says I can beat you with less) I would almost like to see the same type of scene when Merlin reveals his magic to Arthur or in general because that type of scene would be a great way to show just who Merlin real is to everyone else. An when Merlin does eventually reveal his Magic to someone I almost want to see him smiling when he does it mind not joyfull laughing type smile more smiling just because he is finally showing everyone who he real is and what he can real do. As for Morgana an her personality and her as a character she still is a good person an part of the old her still does exist and I do agree with you on not having the heart to kill any of her friends because you can clearly see had so many chances to so herself when it came to Merlin, Arthur and Gwen along with some of the supporting cast like Gaius, Gwaine and Elyan however she never could do it. Any by the simple fact of not being able to kill those people herself it shows that the old her is not lost and she still is a good person. But like I mention with Merlin being a damaged person so is Morgana everyone her close friends turned there backs against her and overall gave up on her way to quickly, she was manipulated throughout her life by Uther and then later by Morgause an also by Gaius as well. An were she is now she is alone with no form of friends or family, scared for what will happen to her, and she is accepted by no one. I do realize the show has the concept of keep the magic secret in regard to Merlin's powers however that should mainly apply to Arthur and if you want also Gwen and The Knights of The Round Table. But Morgana should of been aloud to find out Merlin has magic because it would of showed her that he and her are more alike then she ever realized.
