Merlin!

He did fail Arthur

5 series so thats 5 years and then there's the 3 year gap between series 4 and 5. So its 8 years
8 years Merlin and Arthur knew each other and then he died :'( WHY??!?!!

But weren't the earlier series set back to back? I knwo ther was supposed to be about 18 months between 3 and 4, then 3 years between 4 and 5.

Also you might want to check your maths 1-2= 1 year, 2-3=1 year, 3-4=i year, 4-5=3 years. = 6 years

Here is the list of all the people that died in Merlin. Help me find people I've missed out, and order them from first to last properly

Lady Helen of Mora
Mary Collins
Valiant
Aulfric
Sophia
Edwin Muirden
William
Tom
Ewan
Tauren
Sir Owain
Sir Pellinor

Myror
Aglain
Aredian the Witchfinder
Freya or The Lady of the Lake
Balinor

Cenred

Morguase
Julius Borden
Uther Pendragon
Agravaine
Isolde

Elyan
Ruadan
Alator
Mordred
Gwaine
Morgana
Arthur Pendragon

Merlin was an average show made great by the bromance of Arthur and Merlin that lit up the screen.

Not really, Morgana finding them wasn't the reason Arthur died. Either way, it wasn't really Gwaine's fault.

how about lancelot?

If Merlin didn't waste time killing Morgana he could have got Arthur to the lake in time

He couldn't have been saved, whatever Merlin and Gaius had hoped. He was destined to die at Mordred's hand and to sleep/not be alive for a very long time

Darn destiny

Could Merlin have killed Mordred when he was one of Arthur's knights? I would have done that...

I really didn't like it....



The lorry thing can be viewed in the following ways:

- Merlin is still alive over a thousand years later, and Arthur still hasn't come back to life.
- Arthur came back to life at some point, brought about Albion, and Merlin is still around
- Arthur is never coming back
- Arthur will one day come back in the modern world and sort out the global economic crisis
- As part of the extended gay metaphor, and Merlin is now close to Albion where Magic/Gay people can be accepted


Whatever the case, it was like Frodo finding a gun on the way to Mordor for me. Just completely ruined the safe little fantasy world I had going on for Merlin.

Lool. Completely agree..
But apparently "Emrys" meant immortal in Welsh..so I'm kinda sticking with that one :P

Personally I'd have been happy with Arthur being cures by the dragon, then dying because it drained him of his magic..
Arthur and Merlin skipping back to Camelot, Arthur enforcing a law that allows magic to be practiced freely and the last scene being Merlin being knighted!!

Well I'm my head that's what happened anyway!

I made up my own episode that I'm choosing to remember too

The most important scene of which was Merlin tells Arthur about his magic... And Arthur's line is:

Arthur:" I've always known Merlin. Did you think I was an idiot?"

Would have just suited his character perfectly in my opinion

It is in Merlin, but I've read a few versions of the legend since then and all have the Lady of the Lake, Nimue, as a different person to the one who gave and took excalibur back. Also excalibur wasn't the sword in the stone

I'm going to do a final episode sort of tribute thing on youtube to The Call, could someone point me in the right direction for finding help of how to do editing and stuff like that for beginners? I've never tried it before but I'd love to have a go

I know a lot of people on here didn't like it, but I actually enjoyed the final episode. People have said Merlin should've called the dragon sooner, but if he had then he wouldn't have had all the touching moments with Arthur on their journey. As sad as it was, Arthur had to die - if he'd beaten destiny it would've ruined all the other times that destiny has been important in the show.
Loved the truck at the end - completely unexpected!

I think it is just one of the rumoured places, but the modern adaptations of the legend all base Avalon on it
