I loved the series, but I agree that the ending was terrible.

It's not because of how tragic it was that I hate it. Honestly, tragic endings are an occupational hazard when you choose to get involved with tv series. But the way the ended it was so sudden and lazy.

They could've easily made a whole other season or two. Yes, Mordred has to kill Arthur, but they could've waited another season. I wanted to see Merlin free to use magic in Camelot, Arthur knowing about his gift. I also would've liked to see Merlin list all the times he saved Arthur's ungrateful butt :p

The ending was just really sloppy, and although Arthur did have to die by Mordred's hand, it didn't have to be so sudden. I wanted more time...
