The thing is, we need to accept that none of this actually happened. Who says this is our world? It might be one similar to ours, where things in history went differently. It was a tv show, not something real. Watching the ending broke my heart, I was sad and disappointed and completely angry with how the show ended. I too was left with questions raging and flying in my head, words and images, flashes of the show going on and on in my mind. I tried to imagine different endings to calm down, I tried to imagine what would happen next, as I'm sure a lot of you did as well. And although all of this breaks my heart, it's not real. We are real and the actors are, but everything that happened in the show isn't. There is, obviously, a bit of truth in it, but otherwise it was made up. Created to entertain us, make us laugh and cry and make us see new things. I'm sure some of you don't agree with me but I don't really care. Merlin and Arthur and everyone still lives, in our hearts. It is up to us to move on and create an ending that satisfies us, because Merlin is over. I do hope that one day we will know more of when Arthur rises again, or perhaps there will be a sequel to that ending, but maybe not. They can't change how everything finished and that's it.

I cried after it was over. I cried because I didn't want it to end and because I thought it couldn't to be like this. Because Arthur was supposed to make jokes with Merlin and throw water at his face, tell him to wash his clothes and treat him like an idiot until they grew old together. All of that was gone. And then, the questions. Oh, the endless questions that will never really be answered. Because none of us can tell the truth about what goes on next. None of us really knows. We can suppose things and hope that that or this will happen but we're never really sure, are we? That's my point of view.

I know that most of us are utterly and completely disappointed by how the show ended. All we can do know is hope there will be a sequel, or that our questions will be answered, and that Arthur will rise again. We can also re-watch those episodes over and over again, to see once more Arthur, Merlin, everyone else and enjoy ourselves until it's over once more.
