The revelation of Merlin's magic to Arthur (and to the others-Gwen) and the showing of the great significance of their friendship were the best things that happened in this episode. And finally Morgana's end. I'm very sad about Arthur's death and I was moved to tears through the episode and especially by the end. But I'm disappointed with the fact that Arthur died. I was expecting that he would be saved and after the revelation he would bring back magic to the kingdom and along with Merlin they would rule the Albion. In fact, I thought that the writers wouldn't have killed him yet. This show was focused on their youth and I believed he would be killed by Mordred in the distant future (not shown in the series). According to the legend Merlin is the wizard, friend and adviser of Arthur so Arthur knows about Merlin's powers and they continue building Albion together. I thought that something like that could have happened in the last episode (Mordred would have escaped somehow the battle and would disappeared). From my point of view, it was too short. And Merlin/Emrys could have saved him. He was said to be such a powerful wizard, why fail now? Also, he could have called Kilgarrah to ride them to Avalon rapidly. But again, I believe they tried to end the series once and for all by ending it according to the legend (Arthur killed by Mordred and the waiting for the rise of the King). Anyway, I really loved the series, all the episodes were great. I'm really really sad that it's all over. I was bound up with it the whole time particularly with the bond between Merlin and Arthur. Wonderful storyline, amazing acting <3
