Line 178:
* [[The Big Damn Kiss]]: Arthur and Guinevere. It's their best yet.
* [[Book Ends]]: Arthur is crowned King at the beginning of the season, Guinevere is crowned Queen at its end.
* [[Brick Joke]]: Kind of. In ''[[Merlin (TV series)/Recap/S04 E08 Lamia|Lamia]]'', Arthur mocked Merlin for getting his life saved by Guinevere, stating that he'd rather die than be saved by a girl. Here, {{spoiler|Isolde saves his life at the cost of her own.}}
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: [[Excalibur]], first introduced in 1x09, is finally wielded by its rightful owner over three seasons later.
* [[Cleavage Window]]: Morgana in the forest in the final scene.
Line 184:
* [[Continuity Snarl]]: Apparently it's common knowledge that Arthur is the latest in long line of the Pendragon dynasty, starting from an ancient king that founded Camelot and united the Five Kingdoms. Last year Uther proclaimed that he had conquered Camelot.
** It's clear that Merlin is making up parts of this legend, which Arthur calls him on more than once, but even if it is mostly true, it is ''never'' stated that the Pendragons continuously held Camelot. It's entirely possible Uther ''could'' have reconquered it after they had lost the throne.
* [[Cry for Thethe Devil]]: It's hard not to feel just a ''wee little smidgeon'' of pity for Agravaine. After his heartfelt plea to Morgana in the last episode about how he is her one and only true friend, she casually sends him on a mission to kill the [[Power Trio]] and then barely reacts {{spoiler|to news of his death}}.
* [[Diabolus Ex Vacuus]]: {{spoiler|Aithusa}}, weirdly enough. [http://www.scifinow.co.uk/blog/merlin-season-5-secrets/?utm_source=scifinow&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=twitterfeed At least according to the writers].
* [[Dies Wide Open]]: {{spoiler|Agravaine}}
* [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]]: {{spoiler|Debatably, Agravaine. His death and the immediate aftermath of Merlin realising he's killed him is an important, dramatically staged moment, but it occurs seven minutes into the episode and he's only mentioned once in passing in the rest of the episode by a minor character.}}
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Calling it now: the frequent mentions of King Lot is foreshadowing for his appearance in series 5.
* [[Excalibur in Thethe Stone]]
* [[Faceless Goons]]: The mercenaries, most of which wear black masks over the lower half of their faces.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|Isolde, Helios, Agravaine}}.
