I came here looking for an answer to my daughter' s upset with the contemporary ending of Merlin.

I am totally surprised that no one suggested the most obvious conclusion.

A gut initial reaction., an obvious plotline difficult to explain to my 9 year old, Merlin walks a 21st century road at a specific time in history because he is awaiting the return of the Future King Arthur who will arise in the time of Albion's (sp) greatest need.

The need is clearly now (2012-2025) or a near future now which is why Merlin deliberately roams that road at this specific time in history. Merlin walks that road because we, humanity, are at a moral tipping point, once again lacking compassion and acceptance, nearing the age of crises, and in need of the aid of Arthur and Merlin.

Sequel anyone?
