This is irrelevant to the current diccussion, however the problem with series five, and really sticking close to lengend, is that it contradicts the story's current mythology: there will be no love interest for merlin, in the next series at least, and in the lengend he has no children, however in the show, he is the last dragonlord (also the only person left who can cause a dragon egg to hatch).If he never has children not only will the dragonlords have died out, but the dragons will also be doomed to eventual extinction, no matter how long that may take.
