This was definitely a very balanced show which was nice to see. Every relationship got its own special perk. Even Percival rocked in his battle cry, lol! And Gwaine finally got fleshed out again. So yeah, I enjoyed it a lot too. I wanted Gwen to show a little more concern about Merlin's disappearance, but on second watch I saw it more and that's just apples and oranges really. It was one of the best eps and definitely the best, I agree with you there, for Morgana. Katie was awesome in this ep and really everyone was. Well written and I bet they didn't cut many Gwen scenes this time, lol, because we got a lot.
Okay my theory. I think the ties between the OT4 and a few more mains like Morgause are very deep and go way back into the past before they were born.
I've always thought that Vivienne may be Mordred's mother, especially with how linked he was with Morgana early on. But now I think too after that emotional scene with Agravaine, where he really looked human to me actually, that he is Mordred's father. And yes I know I'm going out on a limb, but I think it's possible. They look a lot alike. And it would show even more why he is so loyal to Morgana.
I think maybe after the great purge started, when Vivienne seemingly fled Camelot, they had an affair and they had Mordred. And I think Vivienne may have fled Camelot to protect Morgana. Because Uther was practically mad by then. It's Morgause that I cannot put my finger on. But I don't think she's Vivienne's daughter. I think she's Ygraine's. Just maybe Morgause didn't realize it or she plotted to use Morgana. I just don't think they're sisters by blood.
And lol yes I've been thinking a lot about this because it's going into the prequel auction fic I'm writing. I agree that Agravaine probably did not have a very close relationship with Ygraine. I think she was closer to Tristan. Remember, Tristan tried to kill Uther to avenge his sister's death. I think they were very close. And I also agree that Uther-Ygraine's marriage was arranged. That's how I've been writing it. That she resented being married to him at first. Love took time. There seemed to be a lot of secrets and betrayal along the way for just about everyone leading up to the great purge.
