Merlin used to be the sword and sorcery counterpart to New Who... maybe the magic metaphorically will live on in other shows but not in the best of them which was Merlin....how I still remember that Series Finale...Elyan's death only a few episodes prior, then before Arthur's very memorable death Sir Gawaine suddenly dies in a terrible way as well, dying thinking he had failed Arthur and Camelot.

And no closure for Arthur's death either, and that ending scene gave no sign of vain hope that he was returning...nothing, I mean I know we're supposed to believe he will one day rise again but we'll never see that second coming happen since the series won't revive.

Did that kill the fandom?
