I remember not being into Merlin at all when it was on TV a few years ago but I knew that Arthur died when I started watching it on Netflix (mainly because my mum was so upset when it happened!). But right up until the end I was thinking 'no wayyy he can't die' the sort of series it is it would end on a happy note. I was so disappointed! Poor Arthur, poor Gwen and poor Merlin! The truck bit at the end I wish they hadn't bothered with that, it's so sad that Merlin is supposed to have been hanging around all that time, his friends long gone waiting for Arthur's return. Plus I was expecting a MUCH bigger battle between Merlin and Morgana. After all that build up through two series that Emerys was her doom and all that I was expecting a big blazing magic battle but instead he just stabbed her and she was gone. I suppose it's quite ironic in a way that she wasn't killed with magic but still it wasn't the big climactic battle I was hoping for. I loved the series overall been watching over about 2 months and really enjoyed it but I wish there had been a happier ending.
