I know exactly wat you mean! I have been way into other series before, like Rome)cut after two seasons,( Spartacus, Andy Whitefield died after mastering the title role in the first season), and luckily Game of Thrones(which with any luck will be around till they finish the very long story). Maybe only when Andy died in real life did I feel so sad, but that wasn't about his character, it was sadness about the loss of such a talented young man with a young family.

The profound sadness I feel re Merlin is both about the wonderful show ending, and Arthur dying. I think I would have feel better if Arthur had been saved and I knew he and Merlin were returning to Camelot after Morgana's death, to finish their plans for the peaceful united kingdoms. But, loosing Arthur afte he an Merlin travelled together for two days while he processed the magic   reveal. It demonstrated on of my favorite aspects of the show, the relationship between Merlin and Arthur...the mutual respect, the playful banter, the great trust they had for each other. The show had everything: comedy, action, fantasy, drama, mystery, history, mythologyy, romance, and much more. I keep watching it over an over, and it is just as enjoyable as seeing it all the first time around. My hope is that there really is some substance to the spin off or Movie Trilogy rumors.
