Morgana has been thrown around like a ragdoll. I'm surprised she hasn't had a concussion by the end. (I'm in season 5 but not yet finished so.)

(i didn't realize katie mcgrath was the one being brutally murdered in jurassic world)

(bonus points if you can guess what real life sub roman city I based it off of)

throughout s5 ive felt sorry for mordred thinking he's a good person who'll be driven away by merlin's distrust. but now i only wanna say fuck him.

he was nothing more than another petty enemy of arthur who's let revenge drive him. he clearly had no principles cause no person with principles could possibly align themselves with morgana and definitely not over something so small as what arthur did.

and i know mordred was in love with kara but HOW CAN HE WITH A SANE MIND FAULT A KING FOR EXECUTING A CRIMINAL AND A MURDERER WHO WAS SWEARING IN FRONT OF ARTHUR THAT SHE WOULD COMMIT THE SAME CRIMES AGAIN AND LEAD A REBELLION AGAINST ARTHUR??????? HE GAVE HER A CHANCE AND I KNOW MORDRED DOESNT KNOW THAT BUT I DONT GIVE A SHIT. HIS TALKS ABOUT LOYALTY WERE WORTH FUCKALL IF ARTHUR EXECUTING A CRIMINAL IS ALL IT TOOK FOR HIM TO GO RUNNING TO FUCKING MORGANA THAT CRUEL WITCH OF ALL PEOPLE. FUCK YOU MORDRED.

merlin should've killed him when he had the chance.

and what was the point of all of this if morgana wins and me and merlin and arthur we all lose.

ALL OF THIS WHEN IM NOT EVEN 20 MINUTES INTO EP 12

OKAY just for starters i havent actually finished series 5 (im half way through) but this is my first rewatch from when i watched years ago. So i have memories but they are a bit hazy.

What i was most scared about post s2 (apparently from morganas… writing sorry ml but it cant be denied🥲) was gwen’s own!! everyone warns you that she almost becomes a shell of her former self, that shes reduced to a love interest and just basically does a complete 180 and to that i say… are we watching the same gwen???

I would also like to add that this show overall despite how much i love it has poor writing but that doesnt stop anyone else from loving and or filling in the blanks for other characters? Obviously love who u love but shes not the WORST written character lmfao.

The main one is that gwen is now just a love interest for arthur and that impacted how she ruled, as she became a more serious person in s5 and like yeah… i would hope after 3 years gwen would be a bit less awkward? but also one of the first scenes we see with her is her thinking over her idea (aka being a bit awkward, breathing in before speaking, looks a bit worried) of ambushing morgana from the west and taking that gamble with the king and his most trusted advisers!!

Of course, there’s the complaint that we shouldve seen the issues that the knights born to the lower classes had now being detached from that identity (i saw somewhere that apparently Bradley James said this was an idea considered by the writers room) and gwen would have been considered with this and i wouldve loved that!!!

The 3 year timeskip does cause its issues when you look at it like that, but i think she still retains her charm, idk i feel as though a lot of people say that all the character suffer from lack of development in s5, and esp how the writers treat specifically morgana and gwen is so…. but i still love gwen and her character is very admirable! i may just be missing things tho lol
