User blog comment:Dryuuu/Your reaction to the finale?/@comment-4135736-20111225151550/@comment-4623180-20111227140149

Hmm okay then Broman178 you have a strong point but I'm on a different end from you now. I believe the cliffhanger they used was really good, as well, it leaves us with questions! Questions, questions, discussions, disagreements, speculations, I think it's what they want. The writers are probably aware of everything we've brought up- in fact they know it all better than we ever would! So I'm just going to put my faith in them and just trust this will all turn out fine! As for the first subject, an Agravaine and Arthur confrontation, b'aww, that would've been very tense, probably equally or more tense than Arthur's and Morgana's confrontation. That was a missed opportunity there, as was a discussion Hunith and Merlin could have had about Balinor. I think we should just assume they did, though. (As there was a small gap where they were talking about stuff we didn't hear) Maybe the lack of Arthur/Agravaine confrontation was intentional to make the Merlin/Agravaine confrontation more tense. I suppose it's all happened now, it was a wonderful finale to a wonderful series of a wonderful show. I think part of the reason (and I mean part) we're complaining is because we're not going to have anything to watch on Saturday night/Sunday anymore! We were so hyped with the series, we wanted to be really, really impressed with the finale and the writers can't always deliver that as they wouldn't have had the time for emotional experience and the speculation us fans had over the course of the broadcast of the series. I personally think that, Lancelot Du Lac, A Servant of Two Masters and The Sword in The Stone: Part 1 were the best episodes of Series 4. Of course it's rushed but I think it's like this with many finales for shows like this, right? Expectations are set high, but the writers sort of need to wrap it up all up in the finale and make it epic so they gotta make a few shortcuts and leave a hole or two lying around.. it's sad, but I'm pretty sure the writers aren't stupid. Have hope, haha.
