I agree about the ending. While I'm not upset about Arthur's death, I felt the last few episodes in general were rushed. I mean, those 3 episodes where Gwen was evil? Lame and totally unnecessary.

I've finally gotten brave enough to rewatch the series and really feel Season Five was the weakest. So many lost opportunities to expand on all of our questions. And while I understand the ending with the truck to show his immortality, as a history nut, all the previous historical things I'd looked over really came to the forefront. I never really thought it was our world, more of a fantasy realm...anyway that's probably not as much of a concern to most but really bugs me a great deal.

I don't care for the assumption that Merlin would be alone either the last 1500 years. I mean, if that was the case, he'd be an absolute basket case. I like to think he didn't just completely abandon the others he cared about in Camelot. But I guess that's left up to imagination. And fanfiction ;)
