There is no debate, the finale aired on 2/24/12, we know what happened. Even if you haven't seen the finale, looking at the discussions on this Wikia you can see how upset most of the fans are with how the show was ended. You don't have to live in the UK to have seen the 5th series, it is readily available online.

After watching the finale 5 x, I can say that I understand why they wrote it they way they did, and that I agree with the direction they went in  with some of the story...Arthur is gone, but so is the treat to a peaceful Camelot...Morgana is gone too. We are left so that if they want to, there can easily be a spin off or movie...We are reminded that Arthur is the Once and Future King, and that he will return when he is needed again.

Still I would have preferred seeing a nice long horseride back to Camelot after Arthur was healed, where Merlin recalled all the times he saved Arthur using magic. I would have loved to see the last scene of Gwen seeing Arthur and Merlin trotting up to Camelot, and then running down the steps to meet them. I wanted Arthur, Gwen and Merlin to rule peacefully, and happily after all the years they fought for peace and justice. But, the writers and all those involved went in a different direction.
