User blog comment:Fire and Shadows/Series 5: your overall views/@comment-5763053-20130110094447

I agree some parts of season 5 were great, and others just fell flat. I really was disappointed with the finale. the individual episodes were quite good, I liked anothers sorrow. As a series as a  whole it didnt work especially as it was the final. If it was a season leading up to a final season then i think it would of worked better.There were too many stand alone episodes that didnt move the plot along and then they had to move the plot within one episode. Plus you are right the characters like the knights, gwen and merlins friendship, mordred etc were not used as well as they should of been.
