This is the part that's tripping me up with Merlin right now because...do they? This is a fair point. It's possible I'm being overly generous in giving them the benefit of the doubt. Also, the Dragon is clearly an unreliable moral compass, so his asshole-ness re: Morgana is perfectly in character. And, frankly, I've never had the slightest faith in the creators of this show. I dunno, I've always seen it as a poorly-written show with great characters, so I just embrace the ridiculous crack and enjoy my own interpretation, the writing will never be up to par. But, ah, that's just me. :/
