TBH, I wasn't too sure about the ending, whilst it was absolutely heart-breaking with Arthur dying (and Gwaine!) and then the whole 'modern-day' truck thing was in a way clever, it was also rather silly and it made the die-hard fans completely break knowing that Merlin waited all those years! I think the truck scene was just thrown in there last minute, if they had continued and made a season 6 it probably wouldn't have been included! I like to think of the ending like this: Arthur returns after 5 years when Albion is falling apart, Gwen is ecstatic, Merlin gets to complete his destiny and all is fine... Let's just forget the weird 'truck-scene'!
