HMM, I dunno... I find it very interesting that, those of you who CLAIM you heard from a reliable source that the ending will be depressing and most of our favorite characters will meet their untimely demise haven't been able to link us to ANY of what you've found 'confirming' this. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to be disrespectful, in the least, I just find it strange. Now it wouldn't SURPRISE me, exactly, if Merlin ended on an 'everybody dies' basis, like Robin Hood did (I haven't seen the finale of Robin Hood, only the first four episodes of season 1, but I looked up how it ended so I know -spoiler- Robin and everybody else dies and you see the spirits of Marion and Robin together again), but I'm waiting for actual proof. All the more so, IF they're a-copying robin hood in this, it would seem sensible, at the very least, for a Freya cameo similar to the Marion one (when she was no longer a regular cast memeber) at the end of RH. In fact, the more dismal (like the legends) the ending is, the more likely it seems to be there WOULD be a Freya cameo than not. Cuz of her being the Lady of the Lake and all. I could be wrong, though, of course. Yes, I'll be disappointed/am disappointed there's probably not going to be any Gilli/Tristan return, but I'm still keeping my hopes up for either a Freya cameo or a happy ending after all (without Freya's involvment/re-appearnce).
