This episode really bugged me. Like, basically, some guy shows up in Morgana's rooms and is all "Found this kid wandering around, wanna steal a crystal for me? It's totes powerful." And then she does, because Mordred asks her, and then she warns the camp/liberates Alvar because, Idk, she thinks he's cute? So it was like she was doing all this stuff because of the personal connection she had to the two of them, not because she really agreed with their plans. Which. She agrees with the no magic thing (and helpfully put her foot down, although I'm not sure what that's supposed to help exactly) but does she bother to ask Alvar, like, what exactly his plans are? Or to attempt to see how killing everyone in Camelot is going to help? For all she knows Alvar's plans are 1) Mordred 2) Morgana 3) Crystal 4) Kill Uther 5) rule the world! And the way she's so easily manipulated by him, argh, it bugs me. Morgana, any time you want to have an interesting arc where you have, like, rational thought processes? I would totally be interested in that.
Also, poor Gwen! :( :( :( She's got no one left, not even Merlin talks to her anymore.
MORDRED WHY ARE YOU SO CREEPY.
So...is the next episode going to have everyone pull a Sleeping Beauty while the evil knights show up with Morgause and Morgana cowers in the corner and Arthur and Merlin save the day? Or is Merlin going to finally free the dragon, and he'll burn the evil knights up with his flames? And that will explain the visions Merlin had without making the dragon kill everyone (because that makes no sense, it will put a damper on his plans for Arthur's Golden Age if he BURNS CAMELOT DOWN). I WANT THE NEXT EPISODE.
Also, I disapprove of Morgana/Morgause. I feel that the logical progression, now that Gwen has been dumped by everyone, is for her and Morgause to hook up. They can bond over 1) how Uther sucks 2) how Arthur is noble but also oblivious and silly 3) how Morgana is clearly in trouble and 4) the benefits of a well-made sword.
