It was a good episode. A lot of things went in ways we don't like, but generally it was a very well acted and well directed episode. Yes, the story has some huge plot holes, some scenes did not satisfy almost any of us (like Morgana and Gwaine's death scenes), but I don't think that they were bad. They were just sad, unexpected in a bad way for us as fans and some were even unecessary as you wrote.

Who wanted Mordred to die so quickly? There surely were a lot of people that wanted Mordred to die, but I don't think that they wanted it to be so rushed. The same goes for Gwaine and Morgana. The only death that was satisfying for me was Arthur's. It was epic in my opinion. Morgana Mordred, Gwaine's deaths were done like they were guest characters, non-important to the general plot.

And when Gwaine, Mordred and Arthur died we got to see the consequences at least (Percival's sadness in Gwaine's case, the whole kingdom mourning and declaring a queen in Arthur's case and Morgana mourning and promising to take revenge in Mordred's case). Other people even made comments about their deaths. BUT, when Morgana died, it was like "Yeah, she finally died, no-one cares about it now". Morgana, the most epic villainess, the person who created so many feelings to characters and fans - from love to hate - she dies and no-one cares! That's unacceptable. The only thing we get about it is Arthur's clearly sad reaction. Merlin has no feelings about it. Or at least he shows none. To me it felt like he even enjoyed it a little. Mergana fans will be disappointed... And the only comment about her death up until the end is Arthur's "You've brought peace at last." to Merlin. And that's it!

Well, the episode was a good one as I said, but it is not perfect. It clearly has a bad reputation already, but I don't agree to it. It is a good episode and it ends the series with a "not good, but a little bad" ending for some, "great" ending for some others and "comepletely not worth it" ending for the rest.
