Oh I just had this random idea as I was walking along today! What if the last Dragonlord is Merlin's father? I so want that to be true, it would be awesome. I'm pretty sure when Merlin talked about his father he just said he never knew him, not that he was dead, so it's possible!

I also think Arthur might see Merlin do a spell or something and not quite believe it. Then he might start to have doubts about Merlin or something.

Gwen and Arthur: Something will happen with them, Arthur will kiss her probably and maybe tell her how much he loves her.

I hope Morgana does something in this episode too. I'm really interested for her and Merlin to have an encounter...

Well something at the back of my mind is saying that either Gwen or Arthur finds out about Merlins gift.

too be honest Gwen already has her suspitions... You could tell in the episode "Sweet Dreams" when Merlin was telling him hes enchanted. Her eyes were like and how would you know... Arthur could already know because whenever hes accused of magic Arthur immediatly sticks up for him.

I think the dragon wont die but go off. and Morgana will maybe come back pretending that shes all goody two shoes but really deep down shes not...?

The dragon said he was the last of his kind and that there was only one path he could take. I believe that he thinks he has to die. He wants to take Uther with him. I am hoping that Merlin will stop him. (I also think the dragon must die by Arthur's hand but not sure).

Morgana could return saying she escaped from Morgause, but still working to get rid of Uther. But she now knows that Merlin knows. I think she still likes Arthur. My belief is that Arthur knows about Merlin and that Gwen knows too.

I"m hoping that there will be the twist of the season and Merlin will turn out to be the TRUE last dragonlord. I think the guy in the cave will be a fake -- or won't have enough power any more.

I'm hoping they don't kill off the Great Dragon. That would be really unimaginative. I'm hoping that Merlin and the Dragon make a bargain - like "As long as you don't harm anyone, you can live out the rest of your days -- here's a sheep to tie you over" (lol), which would mean we could still have those terrific consultations.

There may be a scene between Arthur and Gwen when he goes out to face the Dragon in battle. I don't think anyone will find out about Merlin yet, given that the secret is the central theme of the show.

Merlin and the Dragon should have a magic battle. That would rock.

Pure speculation-since I'm not a seer this will give me a laugh on Saturday when I find out how wide of the mark I am!
.
It looks like the dragon attacks Camelot,presumably trying to kill Uther or take revenge for having been held prisoner.

Looking at the trailer,I think that Gwen is in the firing line during the dragon's attack on Camelot and Arthur reveals the depth of his feelings to her when he gets to save her-another step towards these two getting together.

Gaius will tell Merlin there may be one Dragonlord still alive and Merlin sets off to find the dragonlord to get his help in stopping the dragon's attack. Merlin will have to reveal his magic to the dragonlord in his efforts to convince him to come to Camelot's rescue and when he does the dragonlord will have some major revelation to reveal in return.

I hope that the main storyline will be that the Dragonlord will either be Merlin's dad, or reveal that his dad was a dragonlord who died at the hand (claw?,lol) of the dragon. If he is Merlin's dad, that would make Merlin a Dragonlord too- giving him bargaining power over the dragon for the next series.

Alternatively,if the dragon killed his dad, that, and the attempted destruction of Camelot will turn Merlin against the dragon forever. I think the dragon will escape and reappear in series 3. Merlin's magic will remain a secret.

I think Morgana and Morgause will also return in series 3, but not in episode 13 of this series. Their stories rest for now.

Arthur and Merlin need to lose Uther and Gaius respectively for their characters to mature significantly so it depends on whether they are planning a series 4 as to when this will happen. Personally,I'd like a series 4, so in hope of that I'll say that I don't believe they will kill off any of the main characters in this next episode. That will be left to next season.

Hey, just read this! Looks like we are thinking along the same lines. Gaius reportedly says there MAY be one draonlord left alive and directs Merlin to the cave. What if the guy in the cave is just holding some secret/magic which he has to reveal/give to Merlin to transform Merlin from mere sorcerer INTO the last Dragonlord.

That would make sense. Although I don't really want Merlin to be able to control the Dragon -- that would be too much power. The best thing, in my opinion, would be a battle and a stand-off - hence the you go your way ...

Then the Dragon could link up with Morgause and Morgana as another enemy plotting against Camelot.

Can't wait -- Bring it on!

Am I the only one who thinks that maybe when the dragon pretty much flat out said he was gunna attack Camelot that Merlin should have reconsidered freeing him?

Wikipedia tells me that this is the last episode we'll see the dragon, so that's pretty spoilerific, my bet is a fiery death.

I'm not really sure where everyone's getting the idea that the dragonlord is Merlin's father, but I'm not on board, I think Gaius has been firmly established as Merlin's father figure and that's not going to change.

I think that we'll see Uther's stance on magic change a bit in this episode, especially if the dragonlord is magic, cause he'll need to defend the city with magic and that'll be a big moral dilemma with a side order of hijinx.

The trailer made a pretty big deal about Arthur defending Gwen from the attack but I think that might have been a bullshot, I'ma say that was just to trick us into thinking that we might actually get an answer to the whole "will they, won't they" but they will and we won't, not today. They've managed to fit three Arthur/Gwen episodes into a 12 episode season already, and while they're not being exactly subtle I don't think they'll try for four.

I think I'm most looking forward to the guarantee of some awesome fire special effects. I like the dragon, he's just so delightfully evil and I really can't wait to see how much havock he can wreak in one episode. I mean, last episode marks the first time ANYONE has listened to the dragon when he wasn't telling them exactly what they wanted to hear, so I think some revenge is pretty much in order. If people were constantly bugging me for advice and then universally replying with "You're wong, it can't be!" I'd be pretty frustrated, too.

"I"m hoping that there will be the twist of the season and Merlin will turn out to be the TRUE last dragonlord. "
This is an intriguing idea that hadn't occurred to me at all, despite all the hubbub about Balinor and is-he-or-isn't-he Merlin's dad. Hmmm. I think I might like. It would make it pretty much impossible for Merlin's magic to stay a secret from everyone. Or, even if this isn't the case, if Balinor IS daddy, and Arthur is with Merlin when he finds out, it'll definitely add fuel to any speculation Arthur might have about Merlin, since magic seems to be somewhat hereditary in this world.




***more importantly, THE SECOND PREVIEW IS UP!***
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWVWEUxgJ80



Some thoughts after watching it:
-Merlin doesn't seem to be trying to hide his magic very much at all these days. Arthur almost HAS to realize something, and hopefully we'll get a recognition of at least a dawning realization, if not an out-and-out reveal during this episode.
-Also, the dragon is shouting about his magic, so that can't help with the secret-keeping much. Somebody realize SOMETHING for crying out loud!
-The dragon clearly could have killed Arthur and Gwen, but doesn't. I wonder if Arthur will think about that at all and realize his importance. Maybe we'll get a prophecy reveal, if not a full magic reveal.

I can't wait for tomorrow. Any encoders out there better work fast for us Americans' sake!

wow! I love the idea of Merlin being another Dragonlord however, after just having watched the new preview (thanks ladyguantum!) I definitely have to agree with some of the speculations:

1. Arthur has just got to come out of his hidy hole with Gwen and confront Merlin's use of magic- come ON!!

2. The dragon either dies (sadness- I like the dragon- he's a stirrer!) or limps away in discontent and pain. Ooh. Tears.

3. Uther's life is severely compromised or looks to go (edge of seats for Arthur!) although I reckon he'll be pulled back into life by Merlin or Gaius

4. The dude in the cave can't be Merlin's father- I like the Merlin/Gaius thing so I reckon he might pass on the necessary skills or magic for Merlin to become a Dragonlord in order to save Camelot. The Merlin might end up having to kill the dragon (more moral dilemmas) at the point where the dragon reveals his more sensitive and emotional side (formula anyone?!)

Just my two pennies ^_^

I agree, Morgana is unlikely to return so soon after her death (after all, this episode takes places very shortly after Merlin releases the dragon - the same day even?), but I'm sure she'll be back next season.

As for the Dragonlord, I doubt he'll be Merlin's father, that would make Merlin's magic impossible to hide, instead I reckon he may have known Merlin's father somehow. The beeb will probably keep Merlin's magic hidden a little longer yet, at least until the third series, so look out for Arthur and co. turning mysteriously deaf (and blind) whenever Emrys is up to his usually magical mischief! Then again, I could be totally wrong about everything, guess I'll just have to wait and see...

I think that because Merlin set the dragon free and will feel guilty about it, he will try to stop the 'dragonlord' by killing him in some way and Arthur will find out about Merlin's powers, this will probably be the cliff hanger to start the 3rd series (hopefully!) Oh, and Morgana will turn evil and go to Morguase to kill Uther. And Gwen will probably be like 'oh arthur save me i cant do anything without you!' (< girly helpless voice) haha. But whatever happens its gonna be good! Do you find this valuable?

Its not even sure she will return in season 3. Maybe not before season 4?

anyways, i dont think anyone will find out about merlin yet. But we will see everything tomorrow. I really believe that the dragon will die, i mean he is the villain in this, and if he dosn't then camelot.

From what hints the press release for the episode gave, I'm of the opinion that something in Merlin's past links him to the now nearly-extinct Dragonlords -- maybe his father was one and was killed in Uther's purges perhaps?

The Dragon I think will probably bite it somehow -- possibly dying at the hand of the last Dragonlord, who subsequently dies of his wounds soon after, perhaps with Merlin at his side. It could be at this point that the Dragonlord tells Merlin about his father.

As for Arthur, I think he'll rescue Gwen from the Dragon's attack, and he might begin to put the pieces together about Merlin, 'specially after he hears about Merlin's connection to the Dragonlords. In my own personal canon, there's this voice in Arthur's head that is loudly asking questions about Merlin and the craziness that seems to surround him, questions that Arthur has so far refused to say out loud. I think the events of this episode, though, will leave him at a point where he's going to have to start asking whether he wants to or not.

I think there will be a death of a main character in this season finale episode.
I believe it will be Gaius. After all,there has been hints of his death throughout this season.
The dragon will take revenge on Uther and Camelot. Arthur and Gwen will get closer in their relationship.
Arthur will maybe realize the secret about Merlin. I think he may already know deep down about Merlin.
