User blog:It's Good to be the Queen/I have never seen so many people angry.

Reading on different blogs and seeing different comments on the Merlin finale, my take from it is that the majority of people are so disappointed on how this series ended. The reasons are various:  the ending was rushed; too many plotholes; Arthur dying without uniting the kingdoms to form Albion; Morgana dying in a low rent way; (personally Morgana paying the ultimate price for her reign of terror was the only bright spot for me);  Gwen ruling alone without the love of her life; Mordred dying; the present day final scene with Merlin roaming around Avalon (really?); you name it. There have been calls for a pox on the houses of the writers and producers of Merlin for the product they put out going back to the beginning of season 4. They feel they have been duped into believing the series is a pre-quel to the uniting of the kingdoms to form Albion with Arthur as high king and the finale negated that. The conspiracy theory being floated is that there were talks for season 6 but something fell apart so they announced the end of Merlin, claiming five years has always been the plan, so the writers and producers threw things together to wrap things up quickly. People are so upset they are ready to trash their DVD sets of Merlin, or at least they are have having trouble looking at the sets. Some people have said they were satisfied with the ending, but the overall sentiment so far is 5 x 13 is leaving a bad taste in people's mouths.
