I agree completely. I felt like Morgana's death was a little rushed--I wish they would have had a more epic battle between Merlin and Morgana, with Arthur being able to see Merlin's true powers in *real* action.

{Plus the fact that Arthur died at all was terrible... but I guess they were just following the legend? ugh.}

But ohmyword, the magic reveal scene, and Arthur's death.... wow. Just incredible. The acting was AMAZING, and I don't think anyone could watch that without crying. I think they should have added just a few extra minutes, and shown some things that the whole show was *suppose* to be building up to. Like Merlin getting recognized for all his work, and sacrifice, and magic being allowed in Camelot--like, Gwen should have signed a paper, or something. {And Arthur living for a while longer--getting to really know Merlin, and appreciate all he had done--would have been awesome. *sniff*}

Besides the fact that I'm devastated that it's over, this is my favorite show, favorite actors, and this was incredible. Great job, guys!!!! You all are amazing, and instead of grumbling that the show is ended (okay, I've been grumbling--and crying--too.), we should be thankful that they all stuck with it for 5 years, and improved and grew an incredible amount over that time period. :)
