Merlin: The Darkest Hour 1 & 2

So, I've been watching Merlin.  As long as I pretend Morgana is a completely different person than she was in the first two series, I'm enjoying it.  If I try watching it with no more than canon explanations for the changes in her character, I keep getting distracted by the urge to approach Morgana and say, "What, what, WHAT are you DOING?  Look at your life!  Look at your choices!"

My fanon is that sometime during the year she was with Morgause between S2 and S3, Morgana got attacked by an evil spirit or a magic user who had been horribly wronged by Uther or something like that.  The attacker imprisoned Morgana a long way away, magically impersonated her, and took her place.  That evil spirit or person with no ties of love to anyone in Camelot is who we've been watching for S3 and S4 so far.  The real Morgana eventually escaped her imprisonment and tried to get back to Camelot, but before she got there she realized that she quite liked the freedom of not being a noblewoman and not having to hide her magic.  She is currently living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, growing vegetables, helping the villagers out with small charms for healing and finding lost goats, and sometimes wearing fabulous dresses for no reason whatsoever.  Occasionally she dreams of Camelot and the nastiness perpetrated by her imitator, but the closest the real Morgana has come to being evil is deciding that it's Not Her Problem.

Meanwhile, back in the world outside my head, I have thoughts about The Darkest Hour (1 & 2). In no particular order:
