I feel like Merlin should have been prefaced with, "This is not a love story. This is a story about love"

There were, of course, a lot of different kinds of love represented in Merlin — some romantic, some familial — but only one was so powerful and all-encompassing as the one at the heart of it all.

what the show’s send-off ended up being was not the epic, fast-paced battle I had anticipated, but rather a quietly personal, intimate string of scenes between the two main characters, with everyone else mainly sidelined or dispatched of without much fanfare (with the exception of Guinevere, who got a beautiful sendoff as she took the throne of Camelot) – and that was exactly how this story had to end.

Merlin finale
Merlin was never about Arthur and Gwen, or Morgana, or the knights. It wasn’t even about Arthur. All of that was important to the story, yes, and to the legend it was based on, but as enjoyable as those elements were, they were not the core of the show. BBC’s Merlin was, above all else, a story about Merlin’s feelings for Arthur: the friendship, the loyalty, the devotion – and yes, the love.

I am not going to psychoanalyse a fictional character and speculate about what Merlin may or may not have been feeling for Arthur at any given time – and anyway, I bet there are probably a lot of fans better suited to that particular task than I am. Let’s just all agree that he was feeling for Arthur in whatever capacity, and that this, ultimately, was what shaped his path and the direction of the show.

And the final episode saw the culmination of that love story, and it was everything it needed to be and more. If this truly had been a romance, it would have been like the end of Casablanca, The Notebook and Pride and Prejudice all rolled into one – but it wasn’t a romance, it was something far more permanent and all-encompassing than that.

The legend of King Arthur is one of the greatest stories ever told. And Merlin took that story and told it in an even better way. Because it was not just a story of Merlin and Arthur’s friendship, nor of knighthood and chivalry and magic and that romanticised, longed-for golden age of Britain.

This was a story of Merlin and Arthur’s relationship coming full circle. It was a story of their joint destiny, of the fact that even death could not separate them, and of the fact that they would always find each other. It was five seasons of build-up weaved into a beautiful conclusion. And there can be no greater story than that, nor one more worth telling.

“You’re not going to say goodbye,” Merlin told him. “No, no,” Arthur replied. And neither of them ever did. (c)

Slapping Colin
Bradley: I was like, I’m not really sure if I should whack him around the face. But having said that, we’d already filmed ep 12 where he whacked me around the face, when we were leaning on the door and I’m falling asleep, and he went for it. Yeah, he went for it, so I didn’t feel as guilty about it. But I kind of held back ‘cause he’s only — he’s only tiny.

Slapping Bradley
Colin: And here it is and — yeah! I did it, and then you [the director] said I didn’t do it hard enough.
Katie: Is this payback for all the times Bradley’s whacked you?
Colin: Yeah. (laughs) (с)
