With series four and five, Merlin really hit its stride, with darker, more grown-up story telling that benefitted from a later time slot and the departure of the played-for-laughs Robin Hood series from our screens. It’s been a rollercoaster of a series, with some truly disappointing episodes and humour that, at time, was a disastrous misstep, especially in the first season. The King is dead… Long live the Queen as we discover that, in the future, Merlin still walks the Earth. The dragon warns Merlin that there is nothing he can do, calling Arthur the Once and Future King and that when Camelot’s need is greatest, Arthur will rise again.Ĭasting Excalibur back into the lake, Merlin places the King upon a funeral boat, ready to send him across the lake to his final resting place. In fury, Merlin calls upon the Grand Dragon, asking him to carry them to Avalon. With no horses, Arthur tells Merlin that it is too late and tells him that he knows that Merlin was working for the Kingdom of Camelot, before he slips away in his servants hands. When she finally catches up with them both, Morgana looks set to kill both the King and Merlin, but is killed by Merlin’s own blade – also forged from the breath of a dragon. With Arthur weakening, Merlin must use subterfuge and trickery to get the King to his destination, unaware of Morgana’s approach.
