Okay just finished Merlin 😂 and I agree with most of the points made here. Merlin should’ve been able to show his magic a bit earlier on than the last episode! It just felt a bit rushed to me. Arthur could’ve died AND it could’ve felt satisfying if he had made magic legal before. I can’t get the idea of an episode out of my head where Arthur finds out or Merlin chooses to tell Arthur about his magic and it’s a massive internal struggle for Arthur, maybe even ending up with Merlin thrown in the dungeon. But in the end their friendship overrules his feelings about sorcery. Merlin is the perfect example to Arthur of a sorcerer who is in no way evil. Merlin could have fought alongside Arthur as an equal. Just daydreaming here, my family thought it was a good enough ending.
