I was really waiting for Morgana to be redeemed....

I hate to think that her only vision that did not come to pass is the one where she is begging Emrys to save her. That, and the foreshadowing of her showing bits of emotion, and Mordred hoping for her to find love and compassion again.... just a waste imo, even if it really wasn't so much "redemption", but at least her feeling sorry for what she has done. I hate how they took such a great actress and made her into this one dimensional character, when she was shown to have so many other sides!

I also will forever feel jolted at the fact that all these horrible things happened due to some greater sense of "good" that had to be fulfilled in order for Arthur to rule and for Merlin to be at his side. While it would have been interesting in if they always planned to continue the series in "modern day", we know that that isn't the case, and as many have stated, has left a sour taste in my mouth.

It really is pointless for Merlin to do all these things because Arthur only rules for like... 3 years and then dies. Merlin doesn't even reveal his magic to him till the last episode, and the confrontation of Morgana and Merlin with magic...ugh... it's just horrible. lol
