Board Thread:(Re)Writing "Merlin"/@comment-5674726-20141111202303

Just for fun, I thought that we might try a series of creative threads. Imagine that you were writing for "Merlin". What would you do differently and what elements of the series do you think you would leave unchanged?

I'll be opening threads on a variety of headings and I look forward to seeing what everybody would have done if they were writing the series.

As with the What If threads, the order in which topics are dealt with will be based on random selection, unless there is a request for a specific thread. I'm going to start by posting threads two at a time and see how we get on with that, or if it needs to be increased or decreased.

To start with, I'd like to cover each season and each main character*, along with some general themes and issues. I'd also like to open the floor for suggestions for other areas to cover but these should be reasonably broad.

* Note: Although I would usually only class characters played by actors included in the main credits as main characters, I'd also like to include Kilgharrah, if there are no objections.

SERIES 1. Series One 2. Series Two 3. Series Three 4. Series Four 5. Series Five

MAIN CHARACTERS 6. Agravaine 7. Arthur 8. Gaius 9. Guinevere 10. Kilgharrah/The Great Dragon 11. Merlin 12. Morgana 13. Uther

GENERAL THEMES 14. Class/Status 15. Destiny 16. The Future of "Merlin" 17. The Knights of the Round Table 18. Magic &amp; The Old Religion 19. The Pendragon Family 20. Relationships

What do you think?
