Line 6:
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Shortly after Morgan le Fay dies, Mordred comments, “She sleeps alone, at last.”
** The second time we see Vortigern's castle under construction collapse:

*camera shifts to Vortigern's face, we hear the castle fall and see rocks tumble down the cliff in the background, and Vortigern's suppressed rage*
'''Vortigern:''' *[[Death Glare]]* ...you were saying? }}
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: Several. Just about every one is also a [[Tear Jerker]], though.
** One specific example is Merlin telling Arthur, "you were the right man to hold Excalibur", and seeing the look of gratitude on his face, {{spoiler|[[Tear Jerker|moments before he dies.]]}}
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Just look at the [http://l6.sphotos.l3.fbcdn.net/hphotos-l3-snc4/hs924.snc4/73703_160452923992985_100000848364812_285470_1298358_n.jpg costume]{{Dead link}} [[Martin Short]] wore as Frik, and consider that Morgan is played by [[Helena Bonham Carter]].▼

* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Morgan le Fey grows up insecure about her lisp and drooping eyelid. She witnesses Uther rape her mother via [[Bed Trick]], then murder her father and his men, all because Merlin let him. Later, she's used as a pawn by Mab and Frik, and eventually her son completely stops caring about her {{spoiler|in preference for a surrogate, "Auntie" Mab, who kills her in the end.}} On the other hand, her reaction to the childhood trauma is bitterness and eager complicity in the plot to screw over Arthur, and she probably has a lot to do with Mordred's poor character.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Mab keeps getting Frik to, well, frick with people's lives.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Vortigern casually referring to having killed men, women, and children simply for insolence, or deciding to
** For Mordred, this moment is probably when Mab {{spoiler|kills Morgan le Fay}}, and he responds by ''laughing'' about it and complimenting her on it. “That was very clever.”
