My thoughts on the Merlin finale
The last episode was aired about 6 days go, but these days I've been so devastated and shaken up that i couldn't really put down my thoughts without the risk of bursting into tears and i'm sure most of the merlin fans have experienced the same feelings.Now i think i'm feeling better, i've got over the post merlin depression.
Without any more introduction, let's get straight to the subject.
I decided not to read any spoiler before the finale, but what a bad decision that was.I guess most of the fans were already aware of the fact that Arthur would die, but it wasn't the case for me.I was pretty positive that Merlin would have a happy end, despite all the spoilers and hints that especially Alexander Vlahos gave to the fans.I was thinking that it is was just a way to promote the series and make people more excited, but no.It was actually the sad and painful truth.
Although it has brought a lot of pain and tears to me, the last episode was brilliant.I loved it from the very beginning and there were some particular scenes that are worth to be remembered.
The first one was when Merlin disguised as the old wizard came and helped Arthur in the battle.Even though the king had no idea who the sorcerer was, i guess he kind of felt a strong connection with him, as his appearance surely gave him the power to go on and fight.It was a beautiful moment, not as emotional as the following scenes, but it was still good.
Arthur's and Mordred's fight.At this scene my heart was beating so fast and i was praying that they would not stay true to the legend.I wanted Merlin to show up and stop Mordred's wicked plan to kill Arthur, but it didn't happen.I was really taken aback by how quickly everything ended as I was expecting a tough fight between those 2, a fight that would last for at least 2-3 minutes, but i actually don't think the scene was longer than 1 minute.When Mordred stabbed Arthur i though i'd go crazy and in my mind i was like "Oh, crap, and now he's gonna die like this, without knowing anything about Merlin", but then Arthur regained his powers and stabbed Mordred back with a deathly shot.I felt sorry for Modred's death, because deep in my heart i wanted him to redeem himself and apologise to Arthur for turning to the dark side.
After the battle, Arthur woke up in the woods, seeing Merlin standing by his side.I was so relieved when i saw Merlin again as himself and not as the old sorcerer as I was afraid that they would make him stay like this during the whole episode.And then it comes the most wonderful, amazing and breath-taking scene of the whole show:THE MAGIC REVEAL.I'm really out of words when i think about this one.The way Merlin was crying and holding Arthur's hand, how Arthur refused to believe until Merlin showed him that trick with the fire, everything excedeed my expectations.Flawless.
From now on, I think that every piece of dialogue is worth mentioning.I'll just list them down, because if i would comment upon each scene, I wouldn't even finish writing this by nightfall.So, here they are:Arthur's disappointment after finding out he has been decieved by the one he trusted the most, Gaius' arrival and how he told Arthur that Merlin is one of the greatest sorcerers who have ever lived, the moment when Arthur and Merlin were discovered by Morgana's men and Merlin used magic in order to protect Arthur, the scene in the woods when Merlin is trying to light up a fire and Arthur is like " why don't you use magic?", Merlin's trying to feed Arthur, while the king is confused how he can still act like his servant(this one in particular was very touching, because even if Arthur was upset and disappointed , i could still feel the chemistry between them).
Another beautiful moment was when Gwen realised who the old sorcerer was.I feel glad that at least she learnt about Merlin's magic.
I don't know what happened, but now that i got closer to the finale scene, i can't find the power to continue writing this.I really wanted to comment upon that scene, but i guess it just speaks for itself and it doesn't need further comments.I'll always keep that moment in my mind, because, to be honest, I never thought that Merlin would make me feel so emotional.I was used to laughing while watching Merlin, not crying.But i guess there's a first time for everything, isn't it?
What came after the finale were 2 horrible days, when i couldn't think of anything else, but Merlin and how Arthur died.Every time i remembered the moment, i burst into tears.I was extremely sad, but then i realised that i should remember Merlin for those happy and hopeful moments.This show will always have a special place in my heart and maybe 10 years from now i'll still watch Merlin and enjoy every moment.
