User blog comment:Morganaforever/Is Kilgharrah a good prophet?/@comment-4062486-20121109213459

Another awesome blog post Chris! The points you make are very logical and I agree with absolutely each and every one of them. His appearance is definitely a bad omen, just like it is with the Questing Beast in Le Morte D'Arthur or Gandalf's appearance to Lord Denethor in The Return of the King. Especially lately, when Kilgharrah seems to give Merlin more and more bad advice.

The strangest thing is.. with Kilgharrah being able to see the future, how can it be that he did not foresee that his advice would be one of the causes why both Morgana and Mordred become evil? And the point you made about Aithusa and Morgana was very good: this is yet another example of the plot holes that keep coming up in the recent series, as well as the one about Morgana and Mordred united in evil (as it is not certain right now if they will actually unite).

Also, you made a very good point with saying that earlier in the series Kilgharrah made it seem that destiny was inescapable, but now he acts as if it is not. This is truly strange, and not only a sign of a possible plot hole, but also perhaps even a sign of his duplicitious nature. Kilgharrah has fooled Merlin before, and he clearly is not the most selfless creature out there. I guess we just have to wait to see what exactly he is up to.
