User blog comment:Merlin artist/Balinor's in the finale?!?!?!?/@comment-5059229-20121211125027

Wow, this is really interesting!! Thanks for sharing it with us. I never saw that coming, Balinor suddenly reappearing in episode 12.

Well, Balinor was a Dragonlord and had also greatly respected Kilgarrah. He has also made many sacrifices to save Kilgarrah in the past, so they're rather closely related. I think Balinor's reappearance will have something to do with Merlin summoning Kilgarrah again. Maybe Kilgarrah would show Merlin a vision of his father or make him hear something Balinor has never mentioned before.

No matter how Balinor returns and what part he plays in the episode, I really hope he doesn't end up saying the usual, like what Gaius, Kilgarrah or even Finna have mentioned previously: " You're the one who can save Camelot and fulfill Arthur's destiny" & "Do not trust the Druid boy" and the very famous "Morgana should never learn of your true identity" and so on. We've had enough of that already. I hope he conveys a worthwhile message to Merlin, and helps him properly. Not just repeat the same thing over and over.
