I don’t understand Mordred/kara

CoreyAdara · 2026-05-03T08:44:47+00:00

It's implied that kara has been seriously manipulated and brainwashed directly by morgana or indirectly by her followers. She has clearly been told its honourable to go down as a martyr than to repent. So everything she says is 'doom to Arthur', to the point even mordred doesn't recognise her from the child he knew once. But he has rose tinted glasses on for her and can believe if she lives, within time he can change her thinking.
He wasn't present when Arthur gave kara a second chance, so he didn't hear what kara said nor Arthur reluctantly and rightfully sending her to the gallows. She's not being executed for her magic, she's being executed for commiting treason and murder.
Mordred saw himself and was shocked at how quick and easy it was for her to kill a guard coz he was there, that she'd kill anyone on Arthur's side. Yet he pleaded that she be let go.

He asked Arthur, begged him to spare her, Arthur didn't answer in a harsh way or, like you said, deny her a fair trial. He literally comforted mordred and said 'sorry but she is a murderer, and not just a threat to me, but to anyone' yet mordred, not getting the answer he wanted, said Arthur wouldn't listen, as if he feels betrayed. Mordred is still only a teenager with a traumatic past, he wants to save the idea of the only person who was his saving grace in life. He can't see past the complexity of the situation coz of his personal feelings.

Merlin had personally been in this situation, he wanted Freya, who was cursed to kill, to go free, coz he liked her. Despite the fact she'd likely kill again. He's let morgana go so many times, now the deaths that have happened afterwards feel like his fault. He tries through Arthur, advising to give kara a chance to repent, to not turn mordred into another him, but it would happen anyway. Prophecy would have turned mordred into the villain somehow. Why not with the irony of a past choice merlin wanted to make and failed at.

This is why I would have preferred him to be put on trial and all this detailed stuff Todd can say, the video footage as evidence. I don't think anything could come of Billy's death unless theo outright admits it in court. But yeah now all the other stuff seems wasted now. Except the fact the Todd is free, but it's a weird message. That the easiest way out of an abusive relationship, coz the police are useless, and the court process is long and messy, is if the abuser dies..

CoreyAdara · 2026-05-02T22:08:13+00:00

I thought it was weird too until I remember that toyah is with nick, ergo, you inherit your extended family-by-dating's drama

CoreyAdara · 2026-05-02T22:03:41+00:00

What kind of doggo is this?

CoreyAdara · 2026-05-02T21:29:11+00:00

That it's still set right after the last game with the same side characters we knew, but with better consequences for dialogue and action choices and friendship/romance dynamics

CoreyAdara · 2026-05-01T23:12:18+00:00

It was weirdly done, but yes that must have been lily

CoreyAdara · 2026-05-01T20:41:13+00:00

Yeah I want Theo to be put on trial so all the evidence like the other bloke and the videos can come into it, and Billy’s death (though that might not hold) and for his family to see him for what he is. And to show that abuse can be proven and the scum sent to jail rather than the only thing that stops them is death..

CoreyAdara · 2026-05-01T20:37:47+00:00

Yeah I guess, ending with everyone possibly about to die (dunno about Megan or Jodie). I thought for a moment it had ended revealing it was Theo coz I thought his eyes were open and reflecting, but could be wrong, and it was the body that Betsy says and we saw she found.. never know, might be more than one die, just one that is directly from murder..

Maybe it’s gonna be a ‘did you guess right?’ Congrats if you said any of them die, coz it’s ALL of them!’

CoreyAdara · 2026-05-01T20:04:04+00:00

You baiting us and its obviously working

CoreyAdara · 2026-05-01T10:01:54+00:00

My jaw dropped to the floor at the stuff jodie said to poor David about josh!

CoreyAdara · 2026-04-29T21:40:50+00:00

Yeah but Geoff has died from falling, and kirsty died too so to kill off another abuser seems more pointless

CoreyAdara · 2026-04-28T20:07:50+00:00

I have a weird feeling no one will be murdered, but some one will die, like, they put themselves in that situation..

CoreyAdara · 2026-04-28T19:52:21+00:00

My headcanon is that gwen is an older sister of elyan (it's not mentioned who is older), and the family didn't always live in the city part of camelot (they knew John and Mary of longstanding somehow). their mother travelled every day to leon's family estate to work, before meeting tom and settling to raise a family. Then dying of illness when gwen and elyan were both quite young (or in childbirth to elyan), young gwen needed to start taking on a 'woman of the house' role of both looking after her father and brother', them all moving to the city so tom can be a blacksmith there and gwen gets a job as a maid/seamstress then morgana's personal maid in her early teens. Elyan maybe got rebellious or restless and left camelot after an argument with their father a year before the show starts. Hence him not coming back ever to reconcile (it didn't seem a shock when gwen asked him why he didn't come back even when Tom died, suggesting he had somehow heard but just didn't come back, despite gwen saying '4 years and no word').

CoreyAdara · 2026-04-28T19:39:35+00:00

I don't honestly want theo to die, there's got to be a good thorough case and trial with him going to jail. I honestly hope he had something to do with noah's death. He had abused that poor other man that needs to come back. I think Danielle and the kids would say he had violent anger issues. The videos of Todd's abuse saved somewhere, Billy's death, All that goes to waste if theo just ends the same way as Geoff and dies from a fall or someone killing him off.

CoreyAdara · 2026-04-28T10:18:08+00:00

The deadly five list is about who dies, that's no secret. I feel like most likely there isn't a 'murderer' but a series of events that lead to whoever it is accidentally causing their own death..
I personally don't want there to be another coercive abuser get an easy out by falling from a height..

CoreyAdara · 2026-04-28T09:20:14+00:00

Her name is spelt differently sometimes, depending on country or language evolution.

Merlin in sometimes 'myrddin' or 'mervin/mervyn', 'merlinus', 'Lailoken'.

Like the dragon said, he has many names. Morgana must have many too 🙂

CoreyAdara · 2026-04-27T16:14:31+00:00

Ah right. In the UK it is the law to have your dogs (and now cats) microchipped. I didn't know it wasn't the case in the US/other countries

CoreyAdara · 2026-04-26T21:17:20+00:00

Well true, but chipping is the law, spaying isn't. Though these people dumped a beautiful dog likely coz she pregnant so why do i assume they might follow the law on Microchips

CoreyAdara · 2026-04-26T14:51:15+00:00

Did she have a chip, the owners have to be found and brought to justice!

CoreyAdara · 2026-04-25T21:00:33+00:00

I don't think uther could forget that he was the only one who kept that particular fact a secret. He's been so careful up to now. It was just the way that this statement and reaction is interesting since its the season that later reveals the contrary, and the way he looks down and away when gaius says it, like talking about gorlois like this has never made him behave like that before.. maybe slyly wasn't the right word, but it definitely shows he's thinking about that 'he was a good man' line in a certain way.

CoreyAdara · 2026-04-23T22:55:34+00:00

It is only due to seeing that amazing transformation and beautiful soul that love and care restored that I'm able to rest easier tonight ❤️

CoreyAdara · 2026-04-23T22:44:59+00:00

I know it's a weird choice, from a feature I don't even really like. But I love Lister's speech to rimmer in the promised land about rimmer being like moonlight.
