If they had just not shown Merlin wandering around in the present looking homeless I think I could have believed that after he buried Arthur he went back, spoke to Gwen and convinced her that magic wasn't all bad, but showing that even 1500 years later he's lonely and wandering around waiting for Arthur and not using magic, just made it seem like magic never got legalized. The last image of the show made me feel like Merlin was still in hiding even in the present, and that was a terrible image to end on.
I thought that the scenes between Arthur and Merlin were really well-done. I loved Arthur's suspicion and Merlin's pain at being rejected, and I thought that Arthur's death was actually handled very well, it was just the aftermath of his death that left a bad taste in my mouth.
