the ending  and the last scene was so horrible!! the series had been set in a land of myth and magic and beauty and mystery and they decide to end the series with a last scene with a horrible big blue truck blaring past the screen and an old, doggery man looking as mad as a hatter, Merlin walking past the screen for two seconds with him being able to see avalon where no one else was able too (i think)  and then, the end. i cred but not because i was sad at how poignatly and beautiful it was because it was not, but because they ruined it. so many things we did not find out an answer too, so many things that did not make sense and will never make sense, so many themes forgotten about and so rushed and wasted. i may not had been happy with many endings, but the one ending i really did not want to see was one with merlin in our horrible, rubbish and boring presnt day. I wanted to see magic back in camelot again. i wanted to see more of the beauty of the friendship which was merlin and arthur, and Gwen and Merlin and the Gwen and Arthur of season 2, and the Gwaine and Merlin of season 2 and so on. i went back and watched the first episode and the first scene, and was reminded at how beautiful and perfect it was, even though they didnt have as much money to help the CGI and things a bit better, it really was a land of myth and magic. the characters were so much better written then and the first episode to the last episode of season 1 as it was beautiful.the characters and their development was so beautifully written, and although in the later series i felt they didnt work as well - the odd humour only episodes were good. the characters were nothing like they were in the last season. they had not only changed but way too much had changed and was lost. the theme of magic not only worked with merlin, but you were able to see how unfair people with magic were being treated with every episode, it made sense that it was unfair. with the later series, it felt like a background theme, barely touched upon and when it was, it was another bad person whose proper reasons were not heard before they were forgotten about the week later. i won't say much else, as i will write an essay, but what a waste considering how perfect season one was, and how good season 2 and 3 was. as i am a writer, i might write my own ending to calm myself down!!
