Besides Uther dying and therefore making Arthur king, this series was almost pointless. We haven't learned anything since the end of the previous series. Too many fillers and too little about the overall arc. I am still pretty disappointed in the finale. Not a good season imo. The narrative and direction was pretty muddled by the end.

I wonder why Morgana is so afraid of "Emrys" when she pretty much gave him a good thumping. On that note, this is another thing that's annoying, at times Merlin is portrayed as having superior control over his magic abilities and then at times his own magic is dulled.

I bet the baby dragon is going to become evil and fight the Great Dragon :frown: I want Lancelot's name to be cleared as well. I was hoping Morgana would say something when she say Gwen like 'so the bracelet worked, eh?' or just anything to make sure Arthur realised that they hadn't betrayed him on purpose. But...can't wait for the next series!!!! :biggrin:


I assumed they'd set it right as they always do in Merlin but it's a good thing they didn't. It's nice to have a change, once in awhile. :tongue: Though I think that bracelet might make a comeback, the camera stayed on it for awhile.

Yeah, Uther dying would've probably created more of a finale as opposed to the one we got.

I posted this the other day:


Merlin Wiki
In the legends, Merlin saw the red dragon kill the white dragon after a long and gory duel. The red dragon is the symbol of Camelot and the white dragon is the symbol of the Saxons.


I think Morgana will "take it to the dark side".

Oh noes! It was a cute dragon too
I really liked the episode! The end of the episode felt a little anticlimactic and rushed though. The last scene of series 3 was amazing, and I felt a little underwhelmed when the last episode of series 4 ended. Anyway, I can't believe it's over! The long and horrible wait now begins.

Speaking of Aithusa.. I rather wanted it to be Mordred, even though I knew it most likely wasn't going to happen. Morgana plotting new evil plans with an evil baby dragon on her side(and how will she control it anyway?). It's pretty much series 4. Except Agravaine has been replaced with a dragon, of course. I want more than that. I hope they'll go somewhere with Gwen's character. All she does is worship Arthur. But now that they're married. Who knows. Merlin needs some more interesting female characters that aren't evil or love interests.

And please let Lancelot's and Gwen's names be cleared!

I'd laugh if the creators of this were getting future ideas from here :tongue:
I think im in love with Arthur... Ahhh

i could have swore the season 4 trailer had merlin in a prison cell and arthur all i dont know what to do... because he had discovered merlins magic which was still outlawed

Doctor Who is very good and all but I'd much rather have Merlin :biggrin:

Yeah the BBC didn't want to air them simutenouly so they pushed it bach because of the "break". Personally, I feel Merlin overtook Doctor Who quality wise with series three and has been beating it hands down ever since.

hahah yeah! :biggrin: But eyeliner did it for me!? :wink:
I'll throw a different theory out there.

The White Dragon is just very nice and brings anyone dying back to life. It won't be an ally to Morgana. You heard it here first.

Interesting idea. It hasn't met Morgana before so may not of known who she was or maybe brought her back for a reason. It would be terrible if Morgana was killed by a random extra. I like it.
