I couldn't process the last bit, I couldn't understand how they just killed Arthur like that The whole show makes you wait for the happy ending, it makes you wait for the day that the legendary king Arthur will finally allow magic and rule the beautiful kingdom of Camelot, with the great sorcerer Merlin at his side!! And it never gives you that day. I just feel betrayed... I know it's supposed to go the way it did in the legend, but not all of it is according to the legend anyway, they didn't have to make it so depressing.. they could've given them more time to live, more time to see how knowing Merlin's a sorcerer will impact their relationship, more time to see how Arthur made Camelot a better place. Instead they killed him(and gwayne!!! Why did they kill him???? There was literally no meaning!!!) I feel betrayed, really betrayed,and angry, and sad, and I don't think I'll ever get over this... The fact that Gwaine and the other warrior went to fight Morgana ALONE, i mean she is a priestess.... how they could ever win that fight? then gwain forced to tell where arthur and merlin were.. the writters kill arthur in the middle of the episode... so unfair, BTW the legends didnt say Arthur died, he is resting in the avalon island until Albion needs him again... so he is basically not dead.
