I would love to hear others' theories too about what happens after the series ends. I might have to start reading fanfiction... maybe after a few months when I'm no longer working 50-hour weeks! Really? Okay, it's not a fanfiction but utter nonsense... However, maybe a bit entertaining :-D

I generally don't read fanfiction, with a few exceptions. Most fanfics focus on Merlin and Arthur only, based on the last two seasons. Both plots have been uninteresting to me, so I certainly don't belong to the target group. A fanfiction that ties the loose ends and gives creative answers to the open questions concerning all the seasons and characters would be interesting.

The Lurker's idea reminded me of the "Lancelot du Lac" episode. And Ozymandias v's idea would offer a whole new insight into the Spirit World. At the same time it would make the world of the living a bit unimportant. I would have liked to see more of the afterlife nevertheless because I think it's quite a fascinating subject. You made an interesting point, Ozymandias. Apparently, the Spirit World is a dark and dangerous place for everyone. It didn't refer to Uther only but also gave the impression of being an unpleasant place when the Dorocha attacked. The manticore and the fomorroh were inhabitants of the Spirit World, too. Maybe it's one of the places in the afterlife where all souls arrive and later enter other places? Arthur would have a handful to unite them all in the afterlife :-D
