I'm getting more and more pessimistic about a presumable series 6. We're even going to get tired with the Merthur, which has made a very little progression since series 4. I see it clearly now, this relationship has become unrealistic : Merlin has to be something else than a simple servant boy, and Arthur has to become clever and advised, in one word, more kingly.

I fear that the writers had only one brilliant idea : Merlin must keep his magic secret ; and they tease the viewers since series one. If they get rid of this idea, there's nothing left : end of the show.
