~SPOILERS~
Season finale was kind of meh. I mean from all the build up from last week’s episode, you’d expect something more grand for the last episode but alas, they made this episode the denouement of the season… and just that.
A few things,
- As much as I understand the writers take on the Excalibur scene and that Merlin making up the whole story and helping out Arthur pull out the sword by magic actually makes more sense, I still feel like I’ve been cheated my whole life regarding this particular part of the Arthurian legend. Boo!
- Morgana really needs to get laid
- Aithusa should lay off the whisky (WTF were you thinking breathing onto Morgana and saving her?)
- I wanted more screentime for Tristan & Isolde, they were supposed to have the greatest romance story during that time after all
- Merlin speaking in Draconian never fails to turn me on
- Merlin was so badass during the scene with Agravaine (“I was born with it.” line made me all giddy!)
- and Merlin could really use some magic reveal soon/ next season. He looks so tired with all the hiding and deception from Arthur. :(
BUUUUUTTT I loved the coronation scene! Gwen looked lovely. So excited to see more character development from her next season as she steps into the role of Queen of Camelot!
Ugh why does next season have to take a year??? I really love this show despite all its flaws and sometimes crappy scriptwriting. Countdown to next season begins!
