Morgana & Igraine, Season Three

[majorshipper]

*SEASON 3 SPOILERS FOR MERLIN* 
I SAY AGAIN! DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE SPOILER-ISH PIC AND SPECULATION! (With full S2 spoilers as well)
Okay now that that's outta the way, and you assumedly clicked on the cut, let's begin. This was kinda discussed on camelot_love when the on-location pictures were first released, but never to any kind of detail (at least not while I was there). But this fascinates me to no end. Really. Check out the pictures. The first one is from season two (credit for picture goes to Merlin Wiki), the woman being Igraine, Arthur's deceased mother, who was 'conjured' by Morgause. It's unknown if she's actually his mother or not, but judging by what she said, it is possible. The second picture (credit for posting goes to yavannauk), is of Katie McGrath from on-location in Pierrefonds, France. Notice anything similar? They're obviously wearing the SAME dress! If you recall, last season (S2), Morgana disappeared with Morgause after being poisoned by Merlin. Obviously she survived, and has returned to Camelot. Now, the biggest question is...why is she wearing Ygraine's dress? Is it a huge plot point or just a lack of costumes? Has Morgause sent her back in Ygraine's dress for a reason? How long will it take Merlin and Arthur to notice? (Surely they're not that stupid to not notice, right?) Anyway. Anyone want to start speculating on the matter?

I'd like to see more of Merlin make his own choices like he did when he let the dragon go free. You know, choices that he makes without having the dragon's voice howling at the back of his head. Like you said it might make him weary of Morgause giving him advice... but I'd like it to be honest advice.
With the Dragon gone, I'm hoping Merlin makes more independent choices, choices that benefit him, choices that he has to learn from himself. But I would like someone there to give advice, and Morgause is the PERFECT person for that.

I certainly think it is these personal reasons that drive Morgause...
Exactly! Her largest leverage that she's revealed/used so far has been Uther!hate, and that works well because her character runs off calculated emotions. *bounces* I WANT MORGAUSE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!

I'd also like to see Morgause go to Merlin for help. If she becomes aware of the strength of his magic he might prove to be a valuable ally or contact for her. Like when Morgana finally goes to the wall they could team but to try and get her to see sense... Good luck!

Me too! The show writers have GOLD DUST here and they can't afford to give it up. Give Morgause some character development, show! And Morgana's family's back history while you're at it (Although I imagine that comes hand in hand with Morgause, doesn't it?) And Arthur for that matter.

I would love to see that! Like really, that would be a perfect scenario.

YES! All three of these could be tied in to each other, and if done right, would be a wonderful story arc thing. WRITERS, ARE YOU READING THIS!? ;P
