From the start of the series there is one thing  I always curious, is when Arthur going to find out Merlin has magic. Being good friends as they are in the whole series, I imagined that when Arthur finds out, he will be furious for a while (maybe they will fight about it in couple episodes) but in the end friendship and their bonds win, they becoming even closer since now that they are no secret among them anymore.

I still can't believe that they make it happens at the last episode! It just seems too desperate. And making Arthur accepted it in just last minutes of his life just make it worse. I always imagine that at first, being stubborn as he is, Arthur refuses to give Merlin the credit he deserves. But in the end, after Merlin saved his life couple of times, Arthur finally accepted that he needs Merlin.

Anyway, still wondering why Arthur has to die in such young age? Even if they want to kill Arthur (screaming in pain at this fact), why can't they show that they grew up until at least age 40 then he died peacefully and succesfully as the greatest king ever?

I told my friends who haven't see this series to watch Merlin, in scale 0-10 this series is 100! But I also told them that the ending just so bad that it is also scale 100 in scale 0-10 for a bad ending!

Oh dear Lord, I think it will take me a long long year to accept the fact that the ending is just the way it is.

Denial is still on and progressing.

Agreed!
