to this day I genuinely don’t believe a show has done tragedy like the finale of bbc merlin: arthur died in merlin’s arms after only just finding out the truth of his magic, morgana was killed by the boy she’d unknowingly been hunting all along and once called friend right in front of her dying brother, gwaine died after hours of torture thinking he failed the only people who loved him, leon returned from war thinking he’d failed his king, gwen ended up alone but for two knights and never got the chance to say goodbye to her husband, and merlin wondered the earth for eternity after losing everyone he’d ever known.
