To me, this story would NEVER work in the present, and Julian Murphy should have just ended it with "Long live the queen." A new series could have been made twenty years later (or a little closer to that time than the present) and they could have had Morgana's spirit return as well. It feels to me like not only is Arthur dead, but Merlin is dead as well. I enjoyed all the series, but the ending put everything in a different perspective. I think you should make a new series, and then when it shows on TV, you can scratch out the "return to the present" part.

I think that the scene they showed of the present didn't work;however, I believe a scene in the present would have worked if it had been a little more something like this:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   After the long live the queen thing it should have shown Merlin STILL YOUNG and walking down a rode where a car passes him. the scene changes to him at a counter in a pretty old, down in the dumps apartment lobby.He asks the man there at the counter,I'm here to see a Mr. Pendragon.   The man says, Room 422. the scene changes to Merlin knocking on the door of the room. a few locks click and it shows still young arthur staring out. Thinking arthur might not remember him Merlin  says, ''hi. I'm- Merlin?''says arthur in disbelief. Merlin smiles and laughs a little. arthur... merlin answers. END SCENE                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         I believe that would of been a more reassuring ending while still being a proper ending.
