I hardly see the point of commenting now, since its all over. But I'll give it a go.

Um, FREYA! You know I love that girl to bits, and i totally agree that she is far better than all the other bad women. I don't wanna say that's sexist, that the majority of important female roles are evil/insane, but it's at least annoying.

Kilgharrah. I see what your saying. But I still don't understand why he gets to go from good guy, to bad guy, to good guy, to insane rampaging killing guy(trying to kill the Once and Future King and Queen not to mention), to good guy again. And have that seem logical.

Merlin. Haha! I do sort of look down on him with his last accomplishments. I know he's different because he's like Gaius, but I realized something. I kind of dont like Gaius. I watched the MArk of Nimueh, and saw how he flat out said that magic corrupts, and that Merlin wasnt allowed to use his powers to help for that reason. Then there's the KEEP IT SECRET AND BOTTLED UP BOY! every 5 seconds. He just seems like a bit of a coward to me, and I don't like that that influenced Merlin. He used to jump at the slightest call to help anyone despite the danger, but then in series 5 with Daegal asking for help his first response is "No." The secrets and lies and being on your own theme throughout the show just wasn't good for me. And in the last series, he doesn't care about what's good, or right, or about freedom for his kind, all he cares about is keeping Arthur alive. Not for any real purpose anymore, but like some unhealthy obsession. Because Arthur never really treats Merlin like a friend, he admonishes him and mocks him and doesn't take anything he says seriously. And overall, I was very dissatisfied that the whole point of the show was that destiny sucks and you can't beat it. Meanwhile it seems like the running banter between Merlin and Arthur and the hope for a reveal and make their friend ship better kept people watching it the whole way through.

GWEN. I love Gwen too.Only wish she had been given more screen time and more importance. Her role could have been put to so much better use throughout the series. But instead was pushed to the background, except for when she was enchanted to be evil, and then the last few moments finding out about Merlin and become ruler of Camelot.
