User blog comment:Merlaa/Do deleted scenes have an impact on the plot of Merlin?/@comment-5829707-20121212043134

Yes, I do think that some of the deleted scenes affect the plot. There was one deleted scene from Series 4 where Agravaine professed his love for Morgana. I never understood Agravaine's motivation for allying himself with Morgana until I saw that deleted scene. I always assumed that Agravaine was somehow Morgana's uncle too through her mother, Vivienne, who I thought was Ygraine's sister. Turns out I was wrong, but wouldn't have known that unless I watched the deleted scene. Not sure why they took that out without replacing it with something else that would explain his allegiance to her.
