Morgana might just be my favorite character on the BBC Merlin (though, to be fair, she had quite a head start-- ever since reading The Mists of Avalon I've made it my business to favor Morgana in every re-telling of the Arthurian legends that I come across).

I particularly love the way you captured her relationships with Gwen and with Uther. The thing that makes Morgana and Uther so interesting to watch in this show, I think, is that we're not seeing a Morgana who has always resented Uther. We're seeing a Morgana who has long loved Uther like a father, and is only now beginning to see serious flaws in him, both as a person and as a king. It lends such spark to their fights. You captured that really well. And, of course, the thing that makes Morgana and Gwen so interesting to watch is that they're clearly madly in love.
