OMG!!! What an incredible episode! Alex was flawless as Mordred

I felt his pain as Cara was hanged

No wonder he went straight to Morgana and had no qualms about revealing Emrys' true identity!

Morgana finally know that who she has been searching for is Merlin and nothing will stop her now she knows!

It will be all out war next episode for an epic final 2 episodes

Although I felt for Mordred's love for Kara, I can't say I felt much for her, and I think she used Mordred. Both Arthur and Merlin did everything they could to give her a second chance but she was too stubborn to take it, and the way she yelled at Mordred to kill his friends.

Next week's trailer looks so sad, poor Merlin in that cave at the end.

I felt more for Mordred than I did for Cara. They gave her chances to save herself but she chose not to take them.

It's almost like she wanted to get caught and executed. Almost as though Morgana sent her to turn Mordred.

She spent the whole episode digging her own grave.

Inevitable that Mordred would go to Morgana. He felt betrayed by friends.

When in reality no one betrayed him, but did everything to save the girl he loved.

I felt Mordred's pain when Kara was hanged. Didnt like Kara.

Its like Gaius said, somethings are woven so tightly into the fabric of the universe, nothing and no one can change it. It is Mordred's destiny to kill Arthur. So he had to turn evil.

Loved Arthur and Merlin's banter at the beginning. Merlin saying that he is like a swan and Arthur saying that he always thought of Merlin more as a head louse

Cant wait for next week.

It was inevitable

We have seen the visions of Mordred and Arthur. As Gauis said somethings are so tightly woven into the universe that no one can change them.

I didn't like Kara but I felt the love Mordred had for her and when she was hanged is pain was so heartbreaking to watch

He did feel betrayed he didn't know that Arthur had offered her another chance to save herself and she didn't take it.

As always I love Arthur and Merlin's banter

Felt sad for Mordred. But his girlfriend was not innocent.

Little annoyed with Merlin because he always has ample warning. And yet everything always plays out anyway.

It's not like we didn't see this coming from Arthur's Bane. I just can't

kindness is free · 12-17-2012, 02:01 PM

We did see something like this coming

as we were told that Arthur is his own bane. It was interesting how it all played out

Alex deserves all the awards for this episode

So, I'm currently re-watching this season with my family and the next episode we watch will be this one. I haven't told any of them... I'm going to sit back and laugh at their reactions.

That aside; this episode killed me. I've never been more seething at someone before: Cara

Poor Mordred

I did feel bad for him, but then I've never yelled at a TV so much for somebody to simply shut up and don't you dare say it!
