Merlin 3x01

Wow... that was actually good. Nice buildup of tension, hints at actual character development. The only thing I didn't like was the way they portrayed Morgana as suddenly unambiguously evil. Morgana had DAMN GOOD reasons for turning against Camelot, and I would've like to see some acknowledgement of that -- I'd like to see that she still has some genuine affection for Arthur, at least, even if she had understanbly turned against Uther and Merlin. I'd also like to see more of the ethical reasons behind Morgana's shift in allegiance. I felt that her divided loyalties were portrayed so very well in S1, so to see her reduced to evil smiles, etc, is extremely disappointing.

Especially when the rest of the episode was done so well.
