I know that you see it all from the perspective of a same-sex relationship and as a homosexual. That's totally fine, yet it's not what was shown to us before the finale. Of course you like the ending since the relationship between Arthur and Merlin was the only thing that you were interested in, as you stated on your own blog. But it wasn't what the story was about.

Let me put it this way: do you really think that a thousands of years old dragontells Merlin that his fate and destiny is to fall in love with another man? Would it make any sense that the Fisher King who "lived" for hundreds of years, waiting for the "Once and Future King" and for the greatest sorcerer of all to finally give the gift ( the water of the lake of Avalaon)  that he treasured for Merlin for hundreds of years only for Merlin to fall in love with another man? And is it of any importance and/or logic that Merlin's "fate that has been written since the dawn of time" (!!!) was only to fall in love and confess his love to another man?

I'm sorry but nobody can ever convince me that Albion, thousands if not hundreds of thousands of lives, are unimportant but that the only thing that counts is that the greatest sorcerer of all times finally confesses his love to and receives the love from another man. If the show was about gay love, the finale way overstepped the line by telling us that gay love (or straight love) is a holy thing that even requires the forces of the universe to give this fate to a sorcerer. It would tell us that gay love is the most important thing of all, more important than anything else, a divine thing that stands above all when even the gods and goddessess and the very powers of nature particularly create a human that spreads the word of homosexuality and liberates all homosexuals, regardless what happened and will happen with everyone else.

You Guys --

If homosexuality is now the issue, I just don't know  how to answer.

This exchange started with a poster named Hunith's Spirit shilling for her anti- Merlin blog on a Merlin site. It has now become about homosexuality and I cannot even attempt a response.
