I'd love to see a series of fan fiction endings. I agree that the main issues, ie that Merlin and Arthur were to unite Albion, stop the prosecution of sorcery(unless of course it is being used for evil), Arthur was to be the greatest King of all time, and Merlin was to be at his side. Mordred could have killed him many years after these other things actually happened. But, what good is it to be the greatest Sorcerer the world has even known if you can't heal your best friend and King of a sword wound, even if the sword was forged in the breath of a dragon? The Druids, the Catha, and other sorcerers who admired and supported Merlin/Emrys, who passed on info, shared prophecy, showed him the Crystals in the crystal cave, was this what they were so excited and hopeful about. This is a big let down...we have been waiting four seasons for something wonderful to happen with Camelot, something that Merlin and Arthur would do. Is it just that they rid Albion of Morgana and Mordred? In a way that is a huge thing, without her, there would be much less hate and evil in the land, so maybe a chance for a peaceful kingdom for Gwen to reign over. But I think we all expected more. The writers obviously knew this was the last season when they were writing the end of this season/series. I would have preferred ending the show with questions unanswered, than have it rushed through with an unsatisfactory ending.

Merlin has been an epic series, 65 episodes long, with weekly stories, but a common thread of the legend through it all. It was building up to the coming of the Once and Future King, who with Merlin the greatest sorcerer of all time, would unite Albion and make it the fairest, most just kingdom ....I don't feel that we got there. It feels like the whole thing was just stopped short, too short.
