User blog comment:Fimber/The "Merlin" finale ("The Diamond of the Day")/@comment-4892425-20121224122723

This is why all of Morgana's schemes blow up in her face: instead of going for the jugular she wants to drag it out and make people suffer for sheer pleasure. Driving Uther insane before killing him; giving Arthur and Merlin weak poisons that are not immediately effective; slandering Gwen with the Lancelot mess; enchanting Gwen but not kill her husband right away; manipulating other royals to do her dirty work but in the end they turn on her. Now...trapping Merlin in a cave where magic is created, making it easy for him to get his powers back? Morgana deserves the tag "cartoon villian". I'm anxious to see the size of the ACME anvil or bomb she's going to get hit with for the finale.
