    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Arthur's legendary battle at Camlann became an inspiration for the name of a world famous royal castle known today as Camelot, although the name of Camelodunum as the once capital of Roman province of Britain is also one of many possible explanations.
    • Quotes

      Merlin: I just wanted to make sure you had all you needed for your journey to Camlann, for the days ahead.

      Arthur: Thank you... Merlin. Whadda you mean "my" journey?

      Merlin: I'm afraid I won't be coming with you. Not this time. I'm sorry. I have an urgent errand to run for Gaius. Vital supplies that I can't obtain here.

      Arthur: Vital supplies?

      Merlin: Yes. It's not that I'm...

      Arthur: No, no... It's fine. It's fine. I understand.

      Merlin: Arthur...

      Arthur: You know, Merlin, all those jokes about you being a coward... I never really meant any of them. I always thought you were the bravest man I ever met. Guess I was wrong.

    Merlin approaches his destiny
    More now than ever this really is Merlin's story, he even gets to meet his father who helps him to understand what he has to do in order to save the kingdom. Some fairly dramatic battle scenes occur although we only get to see half of them as this is a two parter. Who will finally survive and what will happen to them? In some ways Merlin has always been his own worst enemy as his actions have often resulted in harm coming to others often a little naively as he does not always appear to be aware of the consequences of his own actions. Will he do the right thing this time?
