User blog comment:Morganaforever/Thoughts on Merlin's finale/@comment-5059229-20121225061542

I love your post!! There are so many good points you have mentioned. I was really upset when Morgana, Mordred and Arthur died. Morgana was a high priestess and a powerful one for that matter! And like you said, her destiny never came to pass! Killing her off so conveniently, made little sense to me. Same goes to Mordred. Both are complex and amazing characters, yet were slain so easily. There was room for so much more development on their stories and definitely a redemption. I am pretty pissed, thanks to the fact that 4 of my favourite characters(Mordred, Morgana, Gwaine and Arthur) all died in one episode! It was so rushed, the magic reveal, the progression of the story and what not.

And you are right about Aithusa!! The least developed character of them all with loads of plot holes!! And no one knows what happened to her before this season and after the finale. There was no interaction between Kilgharrah and Aithusa at all. They promised dragons will play a huge part in the story, and nothing quite happened. Well, at least the magic reveal happened. Rushed or not it happened nonetheless. But obviously, I was expecting something far more epic and dramatic. All the Merthur scenes were priceless and highly emotional. That's one thing I appreciated in this episode.
