this scene will haunt me till my dying day... ok, let me explain this:

we get absolutely gutwrenching lines from merlin and nothing but complete confusion from arthur....

and then of course this iconic interaction:

The whole scene is equal parts funny and heart-shattering, because Merlin is saying goodbye to the love of his life Arthur, preparing to sacrifice himself, while Arthur just has no clue whatsoever about what is going on and is very confused by Merlin's sincerity.

truly one of the scenes of all time...

"...Then Sir Lamyell of Cardiff, who was also a great lover; Sir Playne de Fors, Sir Melyas de Lyle, and King Arthur's son, Sir Boarte le Cure; Sir Madore de la Porte, Sir Collgrevaunce, Sir Hervyse de la Foreyst Saveage, and Sir Marrok, who was betrayed by his wife and had spent seven years as a werewolf. Then the three brothers, Sir Persaunte, SIr Pertolope, and SIr Perymones, all of whom Sir Gareth had won when he was called Beaumains."

I think knighthood should function today the same way it does in Le Morte D'Arthur (particularly in regards to celebrities who have been knighted)

Knights should be able to challenge other knights to fights (potentially to the death) for no reason at all at any time.

Knights should be able to knight whoever they want in turn

Women should be able to send knights on random quests whenever they see them.

Kenneth Branagh runs into Sam Neill at a restaurant? Fight. You did a good job caddying for Michael Caine? Boom, he makes you a knight. You see Patrick Stewart on the street? Send him to go deal with the guy at your work who won't stop asking you out.
