User blog comment:Merlin artist/Balinor's in the finale?!?!?!?/@comment-5659316-20121210202735

I REALLY REALLY hope that Balinor does not come back as a ghost. I'm sick of random ghost-plots. First A Harold of the New Age and then The Song of Uther Pendragon. Both, aside from a few good scenes between Merlin and Arthur and some funny bits with the knights, added NOTHING to the basic storyline. The last two episodes do not need to repeat that.

But I would LOVE to see a vison of Balinor appear in the crystal cave. (Could the box Merlin got in the last episode have something to do with it? Sort of how the avalon water from the fisher king brought back Freya? Could Balinor be in Avalon, too somehow cuz he's magical/a dragonlord?)

Or maybe Freya could come back for a cameo and do with Balinor/Merlin what Morgause did bringing back Arthur's mother? Though, really, I'm still not convinced that was actually HER and not a half-truth Morgause was playing around with. Igraine sounded a little too...hmm, judgemental of Uther...like she was only saying what Morgause wanted...
