"It was not just about sex. Even when we shot the sex scenes, those particular sex scenes, it was about a thousand other things than sex. It's about their emotional connection, where they're at, and their relationship, and how she feels about her husband. It was about so many other things than just about sex." — FRANÇOIS ARNAUD

in s5 arthur's bane, arthur asks "what happened to you, morgana? as a child you used to be so kind, so compassionate." then she says: "i grew up."

in the disir episode, gaius asks merlin: "what happened to the young boy who came into my chambers just a few years ago?" to which merlin replies: "he grew up."

In episode 1 of season 5, "Arthur's Bane," Arthur tells Merlin:

"No matter what adversity we face, we stand for what is right. To betray our beliefs, Merlin, that...is what will destroy everything we've strived for."

I just noticed on my rewatch that here Arthur is literally predicting 'Arthur's Bane.' The reason Arthur dies is because Merlin betrays his own beliefs. He stops standing for what is right and is driven by desperation and fear to keep Arthur alive, which is ultimately what kills him.

This is especially what happens in the 'Disir' episode. Merlin betrays himself by saying "Magic has no place in Camelot" to ensure Morded dies, but in a twist of fate Mordred miraculously survives and magic is still condemned. And when Merlin alerts Arthur when Mordred's girlfriend escapes from the cells, leading to her death, that is also when he betrays himself and 'what is right,' and that is exactly what leads Mordred to seek revenge on Arthur.

This is Merlin's problem. He has been burdened with too much knowledge about the future that he inadvertently brings about that future the more he tries to intervene. In comparison with Arthur, who makes decisions based on what is right, not about what will happen. He puts his values first and handles the consequences later because he has no knowledge of any prophecies.

The above quote by Arthur is exactly what makes Arthur a good king and is also why Merlin fails in the end.
