The whole episode was too short. I think, because of the fact that the writers and the actors didn't sign for a sixth series, they wanted to end it accordingly to the legend in which Arthur dies. It's a pity. I really wanted to see both of Arthur and Merlin ruling Camelot and Merlin using his magic freely. They should not put all the "Mordred" thing in this series. Or at least the last battle in Camlann. Besides, Arthur did not die in an early age. He died old when he had accomplished the union of Albion. And I thought these whole series concerned Merlin and Arthur's youth not their end.

Anyway, what I loved about the last episode was the fact the they focused on the relationship between Merlin and Arthur. They show how really strong it was :)
