Greetings EmrysOfAlbion!

I mean P.S. My name is Matthew.

I too have been looking forward to it, with great excitement. Since the big battle that we saw in Morgana's dream is like the background in the Series 4 promo (the background of this Wiki is based on that), but we didn't actually see that sky in Series 5, and we'll supposedly see it in Series 5 or further down the road, I suspect they may use the same kind of look!

It may be the same background, perhaps with mroe intense colours and more clouds, or a faded image of warriors fighting, but with a new cast member in the picture, and updated looks for the characters- Gwen, will be a nicer dress, and her hair will probably be longer, Arthur's hair will be longer and he will possibly have a bit of a beard going on, Merlin's hair will be longer, and a bit of facial hair, plus there'll be Mordred and Morgana in it, too, I hope. Morgana described in an interview as having more "medievalcouture" clothes, so I think she'll look more expensive again. Or maybe they will go full out, with lots of dark eyeliner, wavy hair with green and purple highlights, and an evil grin. Who knows!

We know Mordred will have a wig, so I'd hope to see an epic shot of his hair in action... maybe like there's something living in it, haha. I suspect he too will be goth like Morgana. Or he may be in armour all the time, which I don't mind that much, but since he is an extremely powerful sorcerer now, he should wear sorcerer (or High Priest) clothing. Which leads me to think.. will he be a high priest, because we barely get mention of a priest.

Some more particular promo posters I'd like to see is individual episode promo posters (like back with Series 1 and some for Series 3), such as a snowy white one, with wolves in the foreground and the characters' heads at the top, dressed for the snow. Another one could just be Camelot at night, surrounded by dark clouds or fire. Another with Aithusa and Kilgharrah flying in the sky towards each other. One with Merlin facing one way, and Morgana behind him, with her head turned, facing the same way (so back to back), and the same with Arthur and Mordred (this was originally someone else's idea from this Wiki).

Finally, I'd love one of Merlin and old Merlin in disguise, with one half of his face and half of his chest young Merlin, and the other half old Merlin. Maybe on one side of the photo, Kilgharrah flying, and Camelot, then on the other, Aithusa, and the Saxon army.

I hope some of these ideas turn out to be in the real thing! Thanks for having interesting blogs, trollface!
