Merlin After wrote: It's interesting to read all of these comments and very interesting that we all focus on different things in the episodes and especially that we interpret them in such different ways. I feel fortunate that I am one of the many - maybe not on this Forum :-) - who think Seasons 4 and 5 more than fulfil the promise of the early seasons and happily look forward to seeing everything again as soon as I have time. How exactly do you think those expectations are fulfilled? I mean, we are told Merlin and Arthur will build together a Golden Age where magic is allowed and Albion (ie: Great Britain) united. By the final episode we have Arthur dying and no hints of golden age, nor united kingdoms, and magic is still banned.  Not to mention that Merlin still doesn't get any credit for all what he did, other than Arthur's who is dying this very moment.
