I sooooo agree with you Fimber!!! We are dissatisfied not because we missed the main plot point of the show, but because the show itself changed. We were promised Albion, a fair and just kingdom, a bright new era, and there were also hints about the return of the dragons, Uther gradually getting over his magic hating(in the Crystal Cave), Morgana's redemption and the return of her friendship with Merlin, the repair of her bonds with Arthur and Uther, Gwen ruling as the queen of hearts, the knights of the round table getting proper storylines, the mystery of Morgana's and Arthur's parenthood, Hunith and Balinor, Aithusa's behaviour and so many many more..

You cannot reduce all those and say they are side effects. Merlin and Arthur may share the most important relationship, but the show was about Merlin changing him and being the young man that will build Albion. All this vanished in a mere season and made a mockery of the previous ones.
