Nice review and I agree with most of the things you said :) Merlin/Arthur is a love-story in this one! The magic reveal was actually everything I ever wanted and hoped for. Remember when we thought we'd get nothing? Well it was the best scene. So emotional and poignant. Yes yes the final Gwaine/Merlin scene is now heartbreaking to re-watch! OMG I hope you do Gwen/Leon graphics because I'm totally shipping it too! They would actually be perfect together!
Yes overall I'm extremely satisfied with the ending. It was a tad rushed but good all the same. Now I need to try and move on ;___________;
Can I ask you a favour? Could you rec some good fic where Merlin saves Arthur at Avalon and they return to Camelot? I'm in desperate need of some! :")
First time commenting here! But I just have to say that I agree with everything you said. I originally had really really low expectations of this episode too. I was so sure it was going to let me down, but it didn't! Arthur's death was painful to watch, but I loved every moment with Merlin and Arthur. The rest of S5 was pretty terrible, sure, but I'm glad Bradley and Colin really pulled through this episode. The magic reveal has been prolonged for so long that I didn't think they would even go there, but they did! Miracles do happen, I guess. Arthur's lines, "I don't want you to change. I want you to always be you" are words I'll take with me forever. I guess I can relate with the feeling of being at peace with the show. :)
On the other hand, I wonder what was going through B and C's minds when they were filming this episode. Hmm...
