I feel the same. Gaius said that magic as ancient as the dragons' would be needed, so couldn't Kilgarrah perhaps have done something if Merlin ordered him to? Or couldn't they have just pulled the piece of sword out of Arthur by hand and then healed it? Merlin is supposed to be the greatest sorcerer after all, and all he really did was chuck a few lightning bolts around, which is how he killed Nimueh in series 1. I think the ending was good but they've put twists into so many parts of the legend so that they could include them but adapt them that I don't see why they couldn't have done something like that here, too.
