Merlin!

Morgana escaped the castle pretty quickly and stealthily for someone on the most wanted list with no magic who had just been stabbed...

What happened to her powers? Why didn't they work?

I was hoping that Nimueh would save Morgana at the end, would make a great next season with Nimueh somehow returning

Also, did Arthur not wonder how Merlin managed to kill Aggravaine and all his men when Merlin went to 'cover their tracks'?

Merry Xmas to all!

Could be wrong, but I thought that was the point of the small wicker doll Merlin placed under her bed, figured it must drain her power for a short time or something. They should have explained it better. That seemed to be the whole reason he went in to the castle, and Morgana's magic was the problem he'd been thinking about, seemed to make sense.

imo, Morgana being saved by Mordred or whatever his name is would've been a much better ending.

Oh I thought Merlin was mentally blocking Morgana's powers but my thoughts did linger over this.


Guys. I think next season may be the last seeing as Merlin is yet to reveal his magic.


I must say, the extras that play soldiers need serious extra training. How does a slash to the chest cause a person to fall forwards, with out any stumbling at all. That sword really must be magic.

Morgana really needs to be dead.
It's the same every episode, something good is happening. Morgana comes in and messed it up.

However, the finale was okay. We're seeing how Arthur is becoming the King and living out the legend.

Didn't really know what was going on in the last scene



Wondering if they will do the whole Arthur learning about Merlin's powers next season, feel it is long overdue

Same here, it wouldn't make sense for Morgana being able to control a Dragon because it has been clearly stated, repeatedly that Merlin is the only one able to control a dragon as he is the last Dragon Lord.

I wanted to see the Dragon complete vapourize Morgana to be honest.

maybe she is planning to enslave it somehow? Or since its young manipulate it into serving her, although like you said Merlin could just tell it to stop and that would be the end of that plan.

Don't get what the Dragon was doing on it's own, shouldn't the big one be looking after it? lousy parenting tbh

Great Dragon's don't always make great guardians.
I don't see how far she would've gotten from Camelot that guards wouldn't be able to find her though.

All the fighting is pretty rubbish :P people keep doing slash attacks to people with full chainmail on and killing them with ease!

I know its a pre-watershed happy family show, but can't we please have some blood?! You see so many people get stabbed close up on camera and there's not a flash of red in sight, I mean a little bit on their swords after a battle would be fine! /Rant

The finale was good but had some annoying flaws that made it less impressive than last series's.

I wish we had more time to explore the episodes impact (I say this about all shows) like gwaine's ordeal or tristan's next move as a likely time jump means these will probaly get forgotten.

Also, I would have liked to have had some more clarity on some aspects, like what happened to merlin's mother or morgana's fate? Not to meantion how camelot managed to guess arthurs meeting point after no organisation .

It still was a good episode, with lots of strong points but it seemed at some points to be repeating the second half of the coming of arthur. I wasn't too bothered that merlin did not reveal his magic but was suprised no-one found out, not even morgana or gwaine.

The end scene was not what I was expecting, hoping for a merlin versus morgana dragon and magic super battle in the series 5 premiere though with lots of gwaine.

I was under the impression that Merlin gathered them up, with the scouting help of the Dragon.

Gwen really annoys me
