Yes, I found it quite sad when Gollum died. He suffered for so long and it wasn't even his fault. I had wished for a happy ending for him, but sadly, the story chose another fate. That's one of the reasons why I don't like that kind of fantasy so much, it's too much drama and most of the time the tragic characters that actually need redemption and help are the loosers in the end and suffer and die. When starting to wtach Merlin it all seemed so different and much more positive. We all know how it turned out. I'm sick of unnecessary drama that leads to nothing but misery and disappointment. Sometimes I think that dark fantasy-creators have a thing for drama and letting their characters suffer. Very often fantasy is too bizarr for my taste, and nowadays also too cruel, especially fantasy that is set in sort of medieval times.

Have you ever watched Robin Hood with Russel Crowe? His Merry Men had a better and bigger role in this one movie than the knights on Merlin had. And sometimes the knight's behaviour very much reminded me of Robin's men, yet it didn't fit the actual image of the so-called honourable knights of the Round Table. I think it wasn't a good idea to describe them in a similar way like Robin Hood's men were described.

And yes, of course, ending Uther's story that way and then also slapping his fans by this silly way of his return was an insult and also quite mean. First let him suffer, then let him suffer for eternity and then make him evil and then send him back to eternal suffer. Whatever has gotten into them, it wasn't something good.
