I agree with what you have said what I really don't get is why were there no references to him before Series 3 (he could have been mentioned by his father Tom or by Gwen), he did not even appear in Queen of Hearts when Uther sentenced his sister to death and most of all, he didn't do much other than walk away when Gwen was banished.

In Series 4, I'd say that Elyan's screentime was pretty good, although he could have had a bigger role, and like you said, I also enjoyed A Herald of the New Age even though many people think it was bad (I think exactly the same with The Sorcerer's Shadow, many people say it was bad but I thought it was good), that was the first time Elyan had a major role.

I do hope that in Series 5, the producers include more episodes with Elyan, perhaps by including more episodes with him helping Arthur, Merlin and the others, however, the main knight who I think should have more screentime is Percival because he is the only knight who hasn't had much of a big role in the Series.
