I agree with everything you say except that I think they actually didn't need more episodes.

It's true that things seemed a little rushed in the last few episodes, and through out the whole show, they don't finish every character's story, but I think this is mainly because of  all the filler episodes. If they replaced all the filler episodes, then I think they would have more time for more important plots. Also, aren't the episodes in shows in the US 20 minutes long each? (I thought they were.) Because then Merlin would still have a higher running time.

Still, they probably would need about 16 episodes per season, AND have less filler episodes. That would have made the show awesome.

I'm kind of a little glad that Morgana died too ( I didn't expect her too), though I don't really hate her, but she still deserved a better ending than what she got. (the same goes for Mordred, Gwaine, and even Arthur.)
