I'm gonna miss Gwaine and Arthur, why did they have to kill off my favourite characters? :(

'The Diamond of the Day Part 2' hasn't aired yet in Australia, its airing 6th of Jan [on my birthday, so now I have to relive Gwaine and Arthur's deaths :( ], but being a part of this wiki, I've read all what has happened...possibly because of my curiousity and the fact I love Merlin so much and can't stand to wait. Hoping it wasn't Gwaine or Arthur that died and would be completely mystifyed find out that the 'knight with nine lives' survived yet again.

I was completely unsatisfied by the 'epic battle' that was anticipated between Merlin and Morgana. However, (sorry Morgana fans) was utterly happy with the fact that Morgana and Mordred got their come-up-ance!

I cried so much during the scene between Merlin and Arthur, even though I believed that their was no reason for him to die (could have called the dragon sooner Merlin), it was magical and beautiful. Even amongst cursing Mordred's name, felt very content with the emotion conveyed during the scene, Colin and Bradley are fabulous actors and if the 'inevitable' occurred, I'm glad that scene was how I anticipated Arthur dying, with Merlin by his side and Arthur accepting him as a friend and sorcerer as well as acknowledging everything Merlin had done for him.

As for Gwaine, that was just plain awful. Why did Gwaine have to die?? I was hoping that he would be one of the knights that remained, but oh no!
