Like Fimber said that after season three, there are a lot of character inconsistencies. Also in my reply I felt like Merlin has become ruthless and cruel person. He seemes enjoyed killing Agravaine and wanting to kill Mordred so much. And when Gaius asked him where is Merlin who came to Camelot few years ago, Merlin answered : he grew up. But he didn't grow up, he just changed because he still made a lot of stupid mistakes.

Yes I understand that being kind, Merlin should save Mordred and Morgana. But they pointed out that Merlin was the one responsible by using Kilgharrah to tell him something like "you ignored me and you must face the consequences" over and over again. I mean, even though Merlin saved Mordred and Morgana, they should not have to remind audience again and again that it was a mistake. What was done was done, just leave it that way.

I can understand too that only Merlin can save Mordred. Like I said, this is understandable and acceptable since this was his first mistake.

But what I really didn't like is the fact that the list is getting longer and bigger and more inconsistent and more stupid.

Merlin had the opportunity to kill Morgana and Mordred and he didn't, that's good, because yes he is kind. But they didn't have to make it otherwise, they didn't have to make that finishing or killing Mordred and Morgana was Merlin's responsibilty and when he didn't do it, it was his stupidity that caused chaos in Camelot.
