Seeing that ending, it's a shame they didn't just end it at the end of season 4, because that was one heck of a finale. Obviously they couldn't because they needed to tie up the Mordred and Aithusa plotlines...which they didn't even do! (Well the Mordred one they did, but not Aithusa). Aithusa was meant to be a symbol for Merlin and Arthur uniting the land of Albion! Look how that turned out...

I mainly just didn't like the final scene, why bring the "land of myth and time of magic" that we have grown to love into our modern world? Do the writers want us to relate to the story so much that we believe in Merlin? He's not Santa Claus for crying out loud! We love the show because it's a world we can escape into. I always looked forward to Sunday 6:30 (that's when it was on for me) so I could see what adventures Merlin and Arthur would get to.
