Seriously, at this point I'm just hoping they don't cock up the finale so badly that it will ruin the entire show for me (like Torchwood did). I would just like to see Merlin do SOMETHING. Last time he did anything big with his magic, he let the dragon loose (unless I'm forgetting something) and that was a loooong time ago.

Um....just how many clips of "My Little Pony" ARE there on youtube? hehehe.

I felt like everyone was right in this episode - Arthur was right, Merlin was right, Mordred was right and Kara was right. What they chose to do about it.....not so much, which makes the conflict inevitable. I swear, if this show ends up with Merlin locked in the Crystal Cave and Arthur dead.....grrrrrr. I still don't think Arthur is ever going to find out - didn't one of those previews show Old Merlin? At which point, I gotta think that Merlin backed the wrong horse here. If Arthur never sees the light, then he's really not much different than dear old dad. And of course, I can't help thinking that if Merlin had just come out to Morgana in season 1, and then she had explained herself to Uther (because he could have done ANYthing for her) this whole mess would never have happened.

Enough rambling. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. For Christmas, I want a positive ending to this show without a bloodbath (it's supposed to be a 'family' show - they wouldn't kill Arthur and all the knights in front of the kiddies on Christmas Eve, would they?)

I have hopes for the finale. These hopes are not very high but at least they remain somewhat hopeful.

And, yeah, magic hasn't really been used to anywhere near its potential at all, not just by Merlin. All we ever see is it used as a weapon (that ridiculously overused blast someone back thing) or to deceive with disguises. I miss Merlin's spellbook because at least then we got something different every week. I just hope they saved their special effects budget for an epic Merlin vs Morgana final battle...but we'll probably just see them throw each other against walls for a bit.

Meh, I have a Christmas wish in mind for the ending. I know it's not going to happen but as long as they don't end on a completely bleak note, I think I might be able to deal.

And My Little Pony Clips are, I think, neverending. It's a really good cartoon and the voice acting is superb and
