To explain the modern ending. It was to show that Merlin is kind of immortal and was waiting for Arthur to return when Albion was in his greatest need. It shows that Arthur is the once and future king. I didn't expect the scene, but it was pretty good and fun to think about.

To be honest, I personally didn't like the ending, but I still have to admit it was a really good and worth one. (Although the fights were a bit short and it all happened a bit too fast)  I expected Arthur to die, because the show followed the legend. Oke, they followed the legend, but only the basic lines. Sorcerer helps Arthur becoming a great king, they reunite albion, bring back magic, arthur dies, blah blah blah. Of course I hoped Arthur didn't die, but I still have to admit the ending was pretty good, but just sad.
