I agree that Lancelot is the most mistreated person in all of Camelot. But I KNEW he was a goner from the beginning of Part 2 darkest hour, when his name comes up on the screen as a guest star, which meant he was leaving. It was confirmed when Merlin "unknowingly" (stupidly) tells Lancelot how to prepare yourself mentally for commiting suicide. ("It has to be something you care about more than anything." he said to Lancelot) Anyway, I thought it was pretty dumb to go about the Lancelot and Guinevere affair the way they did. It would have been better if Lancelot was around for the nine episodes leading up to it so you could see the tension between Lancelot and Arthur and Guinevere build up until that point. But no, as you would expect in a show like Merlin, the writers waved a magic wand and had Lancelot returning from the dead just before the wedding. Oh. And under a spell by Morgana. And a "shade"
