I've not been watching this season, because I'd got so sick of them stretching it out, and not giving us the future Merlin and Arthur were prophesied. But I did watch this one, and I'm very glad I did, even if I still had a lump in my throat this morning.

For all of their messing them about, in the end they gave Arthur the best send off they could, and enough time spent on their relationship to believe in the reveal.

On the other hand, I still want to read the fix-it where it wasn't really Morgana at all, but some kind of magical fake, after the end of season 2, and they find her, and she and Gwen can have their happily ever after. My heart is always going to belong to the boys most of all, but I can completely understand why Morgana fans would not be at all happy with the way her character was distorted.
