Yes, Arthur and Merlin were so cute! Fun banter. And I felt so bad for Merlin when he was trying to hide his tears after Dad died. Definitely some enjoyable parts to this episode.
But I agree that a cliffhanger ending - particularly Arthur finding out about Merlin - would have been much more satisfying. Or at least would have been more likely to keep me interested in the show.
I realize the show is based on the premise that Merlin can't reveal his magic, but it's hard for me not to get a little more frustrated with his character each time he delays or avoids using magic and people die. I want the reveal sooner, not later!
