Taking in account how easily Morgana found her allies I wouldn't say that Albion is safe. We still have more Saxons, Alvarr, Sefa, among new others that might appear (and as long as they killed people with magic enemies will still keep appearing).

Also saying that Arthur had no further ambitions is a bit too much. If I were him I would like to live in peace with Gwen, have some children and watch them grow up.

Why would Gwen allow magic when her husbund was killed by it? I mean, yes, she could realize thanks to Merlin that isn't magic what is evil but it's user, but from her point of view is one good sorcerer who went AWOL vs countless evil ones, which to me is reason enough from her point of view of keeping the ban (she could maybe remove the death penalty though and just exile them).

About the disir chapter: to me it doesn't make any sense that an all powerfull goddess spends her time blackmailing Arthur.

About what Katie said: no actor ever says "yeah, the writers screw up", and we know that they do many, many times, so you can only trust what an actor says about his own series up to a point.
