what is it abt bbc merlin that makes it. linger
ppl keep talking about unfulfilled potential but that’s not it for me. it’s something else.
#because it didn’t end. not really#the prophecy wasn’t fulfilled. there was no golden age.#arthur hasn’t returned and they’ve never truly stood side by side as honest equals.#the knights died without saying goodbye. everyone left without saying goodbye. everyone changed without saying goodbye.#there’s so many gaps and plot holes and inexplicable writing decisions but None of them compare to the massive fucking void of that finale.#merlin is at the lake. merlin is still at the lake.#merlin is Still At The Lake and the writers had the gall to look us in the eye and say ‘That is all. Go home.’#there are tragic stories and then there are unfinished stories and this one is unfinished#with tragedy there is a finality to it even if the story ‘continues’ without an audience. but this fucking show didnt finish#and no matter how many fan-made fix-it’s no matter how many headcanons no matter how much art and creativity we do#it will not change that the show is unfinished. the book never closed the curtain never dropped we are waiting at the lake
