So!
I have found courage to watch Merlin again probably thanks to Katie's words and thanks to my friends mrs_leary and souzoukyuketsuu.
It feels good to have so wonderful people to talk to. mrs_leary and I didn't feel the same watching the fourth first episodes but it is always good to hear different opinions, now souzoukyuketsuu and I definitely did feel the same and it felt good to to see that ( Read more... )

1) I've been thinking of this quite a lot, one one hand it seems it was a setup from Morgause to kill Uther. However, I do believe (and I actually hope) it was his mother we saw, physically. It could be that Morgause wanted to manipulate Arthur, and therefore the words spoken was Morgause.. if that makes sense? However, there was a point when Igraine talked about Uther that it seemed Morgause was surprised hearing about that for the first time - which seems a bit weird if it was "her" words. (I was a wee bit disappointed by that actually, I really wanted a soppy, fluffy reunion, and not with an underlying agenda.) And then we see the ending, where she saw Uther and Arthur bonding, (and not looking happy) so it seems there was an agenda behind all this.

2) As my understanding, it was both Uther's and Igraine's choice to ask Nimueh for help, so that's why I was a bit perplexed when Igraine went on and on how Uther decieved her. Is it 2 sides of a story we're hearing? (or jsut Morgause words) I doubt Uther would know that Igraine would die, only that someone would die. He wasn't responsible in that regard per say. If he knew Igraine would die.. then it would be another story. And I do believe Uther's words that he really loved her and wouldn't want any harm come to her.
Is he responsible for her death? no.

I'm really intrigued how this will go on though (curse the reset-button!) But I hope this won't be left and forgotten till next season. Morgause is an enigma at this point, and I really want her back :)

1/ Well... One thing is sure though. I really think that Arthur actually saw Ygraine's face. Even if the apparation isn't Ygraine, it is her face we saw and I think it is important too because Arthur will be able to have a little memory of his mother.

2/ I think we'll see Morgause again this season and it'll be interesting. It is a really good set up for the character and I really like her!
