Like many others here I love this show.

The whole 5th season made no sense to me. It was very dark and weird. I didn't understand Mordred at all. They were building him up to be bad and then he turned good and then bad again. And the white dragon! I was so looking forward to Merlin having some part in raising it as he hatched the thing. But instead the writers made it Morgana's and crippled it. Why? Did Kilgarrah just let it go without any mentoring or being there to help it? They are the only two dragons, you would think he wouldn't just abandon it. Or tell it "hey, don't help Morgana."

Also,  more things that bugged me were not only Gwen turning evil and her brother dying. And Gwaine! But the last episode showed Percival going after Arthur and Merlin, then the next thing you know he is back in Camelot. Did he give up? Was there a deleted scene where he found them? Maybe he got to the lake and saw the dragon and ran for it.

This season could have been way better and I wish they would bring the show back with the same humor and excitement but without the badness of the last season.
