Some of my favorite moments were Merlin finally getting to do magic in front of Arthur. It so made me feel like they lost some great opportunities by not doing the magic reveal sooner.
Yeah, me too. But I do think, in some ways, they'd be stuck in terms of peril. If Merlin can do magic and Arthur knows he can do magic, whatever problems comes up, he'd just have Merlin deal with it. I suppose you could write situations where magic isn't applicable, but that would get old, fast. A few episodes would have been nice, though.
I actually felt Arthur was a bit cheated in the final episode because of Merlin dealing with everything. I understand Merlin needing to be the one to kill Morgana, but it would have been nice if Arthur managed to somehow turn the tide of battle on his own.
