I couldn't possibly agree more with everything you've just mentioned!!! In my point of view, there was absolutely no need to kill off Mordred and Morgana just like that, with so much ease. They were my top favourite characters along with Merlin and Arthur. WHY kill them off like that, so conveniently?!? Both of them have powerful magic, one a high priestess and another a powerful Druid, yet their deaths were so unwanted in a way. They were really complex characters and they weren't just being 'evil' for the sake of it. They have both gone through a lot and many things had changed them, and made them into who they were. And I would have definitely wanted them to live till the end, at least Mordred if not Morgana. I was expecting a FAR more epic battle between Arthur and Mordred and was expecting Mordred to use some of  his magic at least. We've hardly seen him use magic this season :/

BUT I was quite pleased with the magic reveal! It was highly emotional, but I feel it was definitely rushed! I was expecting a far more dramatic situation for the reveal. Something that would really bring out more from both characters. The Merthur scenes were beautiful obviously. Had me in tears!

And there are still many plot holes!!! What of Aithusa's story?!?! That's the one which needed so much development. Where had she gone, when Morgana was killed? Why wasn't she there to protect Morgana? And what of returning magic back to the land??? Will there ever be magic in Camelot? Would Gwen lift the ban off the kingdom? No season finale can satisfy everyone but they should have tied up the loose ends properly!
