My thoughts exactly. Part of me wants to like it better on rewatch, but then another part of me just really doesn't want to rewatch it because the way it ended is too painful.
Even if Merlin had eventually traveled to Avalon to wait WITH Arthur, that would have been better than to conclude this epic lovestory with them being apart - even with the promise of a future reuniting, it's just to painful to leave it this way.
Also, it kind of irks me that the writers always very happily used their magic reset button up until now, when suddenly it became important for them to stick as close as possible to the legendary end.
But yeah, maybe part of my negative reaction is just because Merlin is my happy gay show, but instead of leaving me happy, it's left me devastated.
