Arthur's death was the most emotional scene for me. The fact that the producers and writers had contract for only 5 series and the actors agreed to that, urged them to finish the series just like the legends. Maybe this was their intention from the very beginning (ending it like the legends) but this would be more appropriate with a sixth series. So, they rushed it when the contract was signed. And I don't really get it. After all, the show was about King's Arthur and Merlin's youth, how they became friends, how Arthur became king, what happened between Arthur and Guinevere, how the Knights became knighs etc. Not about their ending. But the whole show was not exactly according to the legends so...

Anyways, I agree with you. There was lack of romance. Quite sad, after what we saw in the previous series. They were a marrying couple and there was no kiss. But the love between them was as strong as it used to be and this is satisfying.

Finally, the third season is also my favourite ;)
