User blog:AgnesFlether/Merlin: The diamond of the day; Part 2 / Review PLEASE READ


 * SPOILERS: DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE EPISODE YET

Oh, my God. There is nothing more to be said. My heart is full of sadness. All those years being in front of a TV, waiting for the next Merlin’s episode, and now we came to the end. I am about to cry, I know it is just a show, but it was more for me. I don’t know if it is a good or bad ending, it is at least accurate.

'''What I loved         '''
 * ·          Merlin reveal to Arthur. Some people claimed that it would never happened but it finally did.'''
 * ·          Merlin’s and Arthur’s moments.'''
 * ·          Merlin’s reveal to Gwen.'''
 * ·          Kilgarah’s back.'''
 * ·          Freya getting the sword/Excalibur back.'''
 * ·          Arthur and Merlin on the dragon (sadly Arthur didn’t see it)'''
 * ·          Morgana thought of Mordred as her friend, she mourned  for him and wanted revenge. At first I thought she wanted him only to kill Arthur. I was wrong. Morgana had some good feelings, too. He forgive Mordred, forget that he stubbed and betrayed her.'''

'''

'''What I hated       '''
 * ·          Everyone died. Gwaine died. Morgana died. Mordred died. Arthur died. I was heart-broken when Mordred died but I knew it would happen, so I accepted it. As far as Morgana is concerned, she died too quickly, there was no “Is this what you really wanted, Morgana”. I felt sorry for her. I also felt bad for Gwaine dying. The huge shock was Arthur. I love Mordred more, but Arthur dying (although we knew it would happen) was too sad. Mordred died, they buried him and that was the end.  In Arthur’s case there were close-ups, emotional moments. It was just so sad and heart-breaking. '''
 * ·          Mordred’s and Arthur fight. It happened so quickly, I didn’t even get it. Some dialogue, perhaps? I thought Mordred was going to die in the diamond of the day part I because he was not listed for part 2. By seeing his role didn’t come to an end in part one, I was happy, I thought he could have more time. It didn’t happen. He just was 2 minutes on screen?'''
 * ·          The ending generally. I know it isn’t a happy show, things cannot be all happy but there is too much to take in. Merlin sent Arthur to Avalon, Gwen was crowned queen (well, that may be a good thing for Gwen’s fans) and then MERLIN walking on the street in 21st century? What does that mean? He lives for the eternity? What was that? Huge thanks! '''
 * <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">·          Gwen was crowned queen but.... What about after her death?  There won’t be any Pedragon heir.'''
 * <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">·          The way everyone died. QUICKLY! UNEXPECTEDLY. I mean, (except Arthur), we knew it was going to happen but I thought “well, they may share some dialogue and then it will happen”. '''

<p class="MsoNormal">'''My past hopes      <p class="MsoNormal">
 * <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">·          I think most of us hoped that Merlin would bring back Arthur in the end. It never happened. I prefer Mordred to Arthur but we’ve known Arthur for five (5) years now and it is so difficult to say goodbye.
 * <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">·          If only we could see magic brought back to Camelot.'''
 * <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">·          Aithusa and Kilgarah being together.'''
 * <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">·          Merlin being accepted from everyone. Reactions of everyone learning that Merlin has magic and it is the greatest sorcered that ever lived.'''
 * <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">·          I’d prefer magic reveal to happen when Emrys helped Arthur and his army to defeat the Saxons. I mean, instead of Emrys to be Merlin’s form.'''

<p class="MsoNormal">'''Putting them all in a nutshell '''

<p class="MsoNormal">The show was great. It started as a “light” family show; it ended up as a heavy drama. I am depressed right now, I can’t say much. I will watch Merlin again, but I am not sure If I will ever get used of the ending. I don’t want Merlin family, Merlin wikia to depart, I hope we can be together for longer, because Merlin, no matter what, will always live in our hearts.

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks to the actors, the producers, the writers, the fans. Everyone, for you gave us a show that touched our heart.

<p class="MsoNormal">''-I will upload photos when I'll be able. I am not. There's been a problem with wikia since last weak.''
