Warning: Big spoilers for the Merlin episode “Diamond Of The Day, Part 1” are being discussed here.
When The BBC aired the first half of the Merlin series finale, we saw Morgana continuing her assault on just about everyone. Arthur led his warriors into battle, all while Merlin was a no-show — he’d been rid of his powers. Merlin went to a special place where he could embrace his destiny in a scene right out of Smallville’s series finale where Jonathan Kent told Clark to “always hold on to Smallville.” And now, Merlin emerges from the cave — looking more like the traditional, old Merlin from legend… or is this Emrys? (Despite the time of year, it’s not Santa Claus)
For some teasers, here are the “Next Time” trailer and a preview clip. Some images from the episode follow. Merlin Series 5 premieres in the United States in January; the final episode “Diamond Of The Day, Part 2” airs on BBC One tonight at 20:15.
Come talk about the Merlin final episode on our Merlin forum!

I’m from Chicago and began to watch Merlin through Netflix. It has sadden me to know Merlin is coming to an end. Blending Drama, action, romance and comedy it became by far the best TV Series I’ve ever seen. I was hoping to see Merlin and Arthur grow old together. I take my hat off before the producers, excellent job!! The actors and actresses performance was superb!
