Yeah, I liked the ending, although I was dissapointed that we didn't see any of the much advertised "united land of Albion" where magic is once more accepted and blah blah. I mean throughout the entire show, this has been Merlin's "destiny" and what often kept him going and then we get an episode in which Arthur finds out the truth and dies without seeing any of the things they were "destined" to achieve together. 

Crap! That's how it ends? That sucks. I'm not sure that is even worth watching. I guess I will be changing the end of my story because that ending is wrong in every sense of the word. See now I'm ticked off. 

You are absolutely correct - no pay off. No great and wonderful Albion, Arthur dies? How in the blue blazes does he become the greatest King Camelot has ever seen if he dies while he is still barely more than a man? 

I won't bother even watching it. What a let down.

Erm, may I respectfully suggest that you ought to watch it, at least before offering an opinion on it!

Here's the thing. I have now read these posts that have stated what the ending is. Why would I want to waste how ever many hours are left of the final season when I already know that I will be sorely dissapointed at the end? 

I didn't realize that the series was ending or I wouldn't have read this thread. Now I wish I hadn't. It's too late now. I can't un-know what I've learned. The fact that several people have now confirmed that Arthur is killed and there is no Golden Age for Camelot with Merlin at Arthur's side as he binds all the kingdoms into the great land of Albion as was promised right from the first season leads me to have an opinion even without seeing it. 

Total outrage in my household this morning...well from me at least and I'm 50%!  NO Merlin on TV tonight.  I can only assume last week's was the end of series 1 and that we'll get the sereies 2 re-run after Easter.

Well it was back on TV l;ast night, but I missed it, cos I was out...I don't know about the previous 2 Saturdays cos my London TV didn't have BBC3.

Well yuo have a few more series before the heartbreak!

Merlin! I liked it sooo much, quite sad it's over and still miss it a bit. I'd be happy to see Colin and Bradley together in a movie/tv show/anything else once again, they're so great in Merlin...

I may have already said on here.
I honestly just watched it for the pretty boys!
But the last episode is good.
Having said that, the series had run it's course.
Watching the early ones, they are better.
They simply ran out of steam and story lines.
