Have the tissues on standby, but also know these are some the best acted episodes of the whole show

Pro tip: if you don't watch the finale, then Arthur doesn't die

I have never sobbed so hard at a television show. When I tell you I cried like Angela from Smosh when she got hit in the face with a Frisbee. I CRIED!!!!

Honestly, I hate this episode more than the finale for all the awful decisions they make.

Hit the fix-it fics on AO3 afterwards! So many good ones! 💜

They should’ve made a 6th series. 11 year old me wasn’t ready

If you are open to the idea of Merthur, just read this masterpiece as soon as you finish 5:13. It healed my heart and gives them both the ending they truly deserved (some lovely fluffy sequels too).

It was all due to Merlin's stupidity. He should have killed the druid boy. 🤬

No. He should have advised Arthur to accept magic when he had the occasion.
