Yes, and now with spin off talk, it is all strange. I agree that the last few episodes felt very rushed, like they didn't have the time to do the ending the way they had planned to. The ending has left almost all the fans feeling very sad, which is a different feeling than the show in general. It was sad to see Merlin in modern day mostly because you know that those he was close to have all died. I do believe that he goes back to Camelot...there really isn't any reason why he wouldn't?? All the work he did with Arthur towards the goals they had for Albion would be or naught if he didn't help Gwen to continue. Gaius, Gwen, and the Knight's were essentially his family...definitely his best friends after Arthur. Merlin would out live them all, except may be the Once and Future King, if Arthur was to come back....I guess that is one possible spin off possibility...Merlin and Arthur in modern day. Though I think having them back in the days the show had been set in would be more fun.All we can do is wait and see, and watch the five seasons over and over.
