I just rewatched it. That ridiculous blue truck really messed it up. I think had they ended with Gwen as queen of Camelot, that would've been much more fitting. As a viewer, it completely messes up the emotional value--you're sitting there, crying and sad, then BAM. Blue truck. Both times I've watched the ending I about jump out of my seat in shock. Just poorly done really. I'd have been OK with the episode in general (minus the plot holes... like Gwaine's pointless death, Morgana's quick demise, why Merlin didn't call the dragon sooner...)
