The first half of the Merlin series finale has just finished. Whoa. Just… wow. Discuss within this post and watch the promo for Monday’s part 2.
This is it. The end. The first half of Merlin‘s last ever episode “The Diamond of the Day” has just finished airing… and we’re speechless.
There’s only one short episode left now, and we hardly have time to breathe before “Part 2” airs! The BBC is showing “The Diamond of the Day, Part 2” on Monday night (Christmas eve) at 20:15 GMT. Watch the promo, if you dare:
In the second half of the finale, it’s all business. Merlin is old (presumably permanently), and it looks like we’ll get the magic reveal in a very different way than we’d thought/hoped.
But it’s time for the Battle of Camlann, which for better or worse will determine the fate of Albion.
Read these 10 lines of dialogue from the episode, released by SpoilerTV:
“Bandages, I need bandages!”
“Let’s just say he deserves our gratitude”
“Three more patrols have returned from the white mountains my lady, there is no sign of him”
“He wanted me to give you this my lady”
“The sorcerer in the battle, you knew who he was”
“I was born to serve you Arthur. I’m proud of that and I wouldn’t change a thing”
“Did you really think you could outwit me”
“So you’re not an idiot, that was another lie”
“I don’t want you to change, I want you to always be you”
“This is no mortal blade. Like yours, it was forged in a dragon’s breath”
Will Arthur fall at Mordred’s hand? What will happen to Merlin, when all is said and done? And what about Morgana?
If you remember, Hypable has previously laid out the five most popular theories about how the show will end. Which of those options do you think is most likely, having watched “Part 1”?
You can also read all of our other entries as part of our big Month of Merlin celebration. We’re really gonna miss this show, but we’re determined to see it go out in style.
It’s your final chance to share your predictions! Will Arthur live or die? Will they be reincarnated??
Don’t forget that Hypable’s Merlin podcast Talks of Camelot will have an episode out reacting to this episode and sharing our theories and predictions for the final episode. Look for it Monday, hopefully early in the day!
