Gaius is there, Percival, the knights, but no Merlin! When we do see him in the final scene of the series we know that he’s alive and well, but what did he do between that time and how did he age so slowly? I have so many questions about how he left Gaius and if he ever saw Gwen again, and I just wish they spent an extra ten minutes showing us. In that almost last scene with Gwen, we see everyone gathered to pay respects for the king and allegiance to the queen everyone but Merlin. However, she doesn’t look pregnant! This is such a small thing to nitpick, I realize, but I just wish we had the glimpse of a pregnant queen so we know that Arthur’s line still continues. We almost end the show with Gwen sitting upon the throne of Camelot after it being announced that the king is dead. The wrong Who takes the throne after Gwen? You can’t argue against the fact that, yes, this was indeed a love story between Arthur and Merlin, because they loved each other so much you’d have to be blind not to see it! I just can’t say enough good things about this plot line, and it broke my heart that Merlin had to see Arthur die in his arms after working so hard and being so close. Merthur shippers were given the ultimate gift, and the way the showrunners displayed the love story between Arthur and Merlin even had me flip-flopping from Gwen/Arthur to Merthur. Seeing Arthur change from a man who told Merlin to leave him, to saying thank you for all the things he did, was truly heartbreakingly beautiful. This gave us a chance to see Arthur finally get to know Merlin as the real man and sorcerer he was. I’m so glad that Arthur and Merlin had a chance to bond and get used to this new open air between them, traveling to the Isle of Avalon to save the king. It was so amazing I’m getting emotional just talking about it now! I was crying right alongside Merlin as he told Arthur that the sorcerer who saved them was him, and that he had magic.
This was the one thing I was probably looking forward to most the entire show, from Merlin becoming Arthur’s servant until the very end. Merlin’s line about the sword being forged in a dragon’s breath was so epic and badass that it added onto the perfectness in which Morgana finally faced her doom. And while I still have reservations about that plot point, you can totally understand Mordred’s switch of allegiance, which is the more important thing.ĭespite it not being the vision she had in the fourth series, her death was perfectly timed with the rest of the plot developments and amazingly executed. What a perfect way to turn friend into foe! You can’t just kill one of your best knight’s girlfriends and pretend things are okay. And then Arthur had to go all Uther on us and sentence his sister/girlfriend/whatever she was to death despite Mordred literally begging him to let her go. We learned that no, this is not an act but that Mordred truly did care for Arthur as his King and his friend.
The Right Mordred’s destiny to kill ArthurĪll through this past series we’ve seen Mordred not only protect Arthur but save his life quite a few times, and it left us thinking “How is he going to be so evil he’s going to kill him? It this an act?” Now that it’s ended, I wanted to share what I personally think to be the things they did right and the things they did wrong for the series finale. And while I knew all along that the series was going to end I was both looking forward to and dreading the moment the Merlin logo flashed across my screen for the last time.
