* More [[Fridge Logic]]: So, {{spoiler|Gallahad}} was the real [[Chosen One]], instead of {{spoiler|[[The Unchosen One|Lancelot]] }}. So, a {{spoiler|10-year-old boy}} was supposed to win the joust? |

** I roll my eyes at this one, since it makes no sense that had Merlin known that {{spoiler|Galahad}} was [[The Chosen One]] that he'd put a kid in a jousting match. Also, it's that he would be the perfect knight when he was grown up, not as a kid. This isn't a case of [[Fridge Logic]] because it's not suggested that he has to win a jousting match anyway, just that he has to be a man of pure heart. |

* [[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. |

* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Vortigern casually referring to having killed men, women, and children simply for insolence, or deciding to {{spoiler|sacrifice Nimue to a dragon}} simply because it was most convenient. |
