Morgana has a really big episode coming up this Saturday.
You're an Armor fan? Yes! I'm pleased to hear that because I can't let them go either.I really want Morgana and Arthur to have some sort of direct interaction! That would be really interesting. I guess I'm still having trouble letting go of ArMor.
It's terrible that the writers ignored the connection they had in season 1 and completely abandoned it. I understand if they want to go in a different direction and Arthur/Gwen has to come into the story but they should have done it more smoothly and gradually. Because if they continued with ArMor then no way would Morgana not have any jealous feelings of ArWen^Yes, definitely an ArMor fan!
I know, I really thought Morgana would be the person on their side.
I don't like how the writers are conveniently ignoring everything that happened in Season 1, though. Yeah, hopefully we can see a confrontation.
^It seems like it's sort of dragging on now doesn't it? Like, Merlin really needs to tell Arthur about his powers. It's ridiculous that it'll have taken five season for Arthur to find out. I mean, is he that thick?
Merlin to be axed after fifth series ends in December
The BBC show Merlin will end after the current series.
The programme has been running for five years and pulls in almost seven million viewers in its Saturday evening slot.
The creators say the show, which features a young King Arthur and his wizard servant, will come to a "natural and dramatic end" with a two-part finale.
"I think the show has run its natural course," admits Northern Ireland-born Colin Morgan, who plays Merlin.
Bradley James says that he would like the fantasy series to go out on a high.
"We've arrived at its strongest point and we've achieved what we set out to do."
Newsbeat recently spoke to Bradley James who plays King Arthur about Merlin's future.
"It's always wise to go out on a high and I think we are at a stage where you take it series by series and think do we want to another one or do we want to do something else?"
'Spectacular finale'
The creators of Merlin say this series is where the storylines have reached their peak.
"We always felt the story of the legend was best told across five series, leading to a spectacular finale that draws on the best-known elements of this much-loved story and brings to a conclusion the battle for Camelot."
Richard Wilson plays Merlin's mentor in the show and admits while he is extremely sad the show is ending thinks it is good news for his character.
"Speaking as Gaius I feel I have mentored the young wizard as far as I can. He is much smarter and greater than me now and I am simply exhausted."
Over the years the programme has had a number of guest stars including Michelle Ryan, Emilia Fox and Mackenzie Crook.
The controller of BBC One says they have ambitious plans for new drama in Merlin's Saturday night slot for 2013.
The next episode of Merlin is on BBC One at 8pm on Saturday 1 December.
