I don't think the writers had thought properly about where the show was going to end up nor the purpose anymore!! All I am able to say is I found the ending predictable because it seemed to me the easiest, and most laziest way to ending the show without the writers needing to devote any time to explaining things more and giving us answers or listening to the fans of the show which I don't think they have really done since the end of season 3!! I always thought that had the writers cared so much about where the show was going and devoting more time to ending the story properly and listening to the fans more, they would not had declined the BBC request to write a sixth series and spending more time on finding this proper ending!!

I also don't think they knew much about the legends. Although I was always happy they were telling their own story a little different, they also ruined and forgot many important things which must be a part of every adaption. One of these was albion and the show spent the entire time going on about how albion would be reunited by Arthur and Merlin together but Albion never was reunited on the show!! I think they got too lazy to really care about where the show was going to end and how it was going to get there, and they both ignored big parts of the legends and then ruined their own story by not really explaining all the stuff they kept adding to the story. The ending to me felt rushed and I was surprised to find they used basic knowledge of the endings of most Arthurian legends by remembering things like Arthur must die and it must be Mordred, and quickly summing up the story. They also had an interesting and heartbreaking plot with how people with magic had been and continued to be unfairly treated but they didn't really explore the story properly. But another problem with this was the characters development did not seem to be keeping up with the story, the no sense storyline did not match up to where the characters where at this point. The writing was so lazy nothing made any sense!! Which is a shame because the first 3 series on the show was so creative, and magical, and wonderful to watch but how the show ended as it did was terrible, and ruined and not really creative or magical at all and I was so disappointed. I havent spoke to to one person who had anything good to say about the ending, and it doesn't really to matter to me whether I seem a terrible moaner when I talk about the show and the writers, because I am disappointed and a little upset that I stood by the show and ended up with being unable to find any purpose or sense with the the show!!
