WOW! I gotta be honest, I LOVED it. Kilgharrah doesn't die (at least not on screen...). Though sadly, Arthur's death was WAY SADDER EVEN THAN I EXPECTED. The bit at the end with Gwen having to go on as a queen without him was so heartbreaking I nearly cried! But we got to see Freya's arm! That was cool. And I feel smart because I guessed SEASONS ago, that if they ever did Arthur's death scene, Merlin would take over the role usually filled by Bedivere in the legend and throw the sword back.

The end with old Merlin in modern day could have been a little better, though. Merlin should have still been young (leaving it ambigous as to if he was still alive/young because of his magic or if he was reincarnated or whatever) and then they should have showed Arthur returning from the lake, also in modern clothing, and them hugging in greeting. THAT would have been super.

But I'm happy, cuz A) no Kilgharrah death B) Freya's arm C) MAGIC REVEAL BETTER THAN ANY FANFIC COULD EVER BE! and D) Merlin was trapped in the crystal cave in the first part of this episode by Morgana which was awesome.

My one real complaint is that Merlin said he "Blamed himself" for what Morgana became. That's just pure Morganafans fan service, in my opinon, on account of the fact that it would soften the blow of him brutally (though quickly) killing her in the next second. That's not canon. Morgana was ungrateful for EVERYTHING Merlin COULD/DID do for her, she shouldn't have been haping on the SHOULD. Even Arthur at least said THANK YOU in the end. It would have been nice, if while dying, after he said, "Goodbye, Morgana," she said, "Goodbye, Merlin."

But over all, let it be known that Adelina Le Morte March was very pleased with this ending!
