I agree with you (Merlinfan). I've always loved Merlin, and I don't really think Series 5 is going downhill. My only quibbles are:

How will the directors fit everything in to the last 2 episodes?

I found Lancelot's death rather pointless. And Elyan's. Perhaps the producers just wanted to make Gwen cry..

But I kinda agree with Fimber a bit; I don't think they deserved to bring Uther back evil, and I think he was a badly flawed protagonist. And I don't see the point of endless Merthur banter...
