User blog:Aneton./Thoughts on the ending

 Are the writers insane? Gosh, where do I even start! I can't believe all the people they killed (Gwaine, Arthur) and all the loose ends they left. And the ending? With the modern scene and old Merlin? What the heck! It made absolutely no sense to me! I can't believe that they killed off Arthur! The dragon claimed that they fulfilled their destiny, but I honestly don't think they did. In my opinion, Albion wasn't created. Sure, there might be some peace, but what happened to uniting all the kingdoms? What happened to Arthur ruling with Merlin at his side? I was really hoping for a more cheerful ending. Something with Arthur surviving, the creation of a real Albion, the legalization of magic, everyone finding out who Merlin is (like the knights!  C'mon, I was really hoping to see their reactions!  Especially Gwaine's!), and Merlin becoming a high position-- something like Arthur's advisor! Or Court Sorcerer! Gah. Something I found to be a major plot hole: why didn't Merlin call the dragon from the beginning and have him transport Arthur to the lake? When he talked to him at the end, he said that he would have only called him if it was urgent. Isn't Arthur at his deathbed urgent? What the heck. Ugh, there are so many more things that I could rant about, but I think I'll leave it at that.

 Though, on a positive note, I did like how the reveal went. If only Arthur had lived so that we could have seen it fully acted out. There are so many things he will never know about Merlin that I wish he could have.

So, yeah, anyone else as disappointed as I was?
