Do you think the writers and directors and everything would return? A prequel or sequel would be a little like a 'remake' of the series, with a different formula. It wouldn't be the "Merln" that's been on tv the last four years. I think it's very possible, but would be at least 5 years off the ending of the current show. Plus, I don't think many people are interested in that at the moment, as they're still focusing on what's happening with this one. I agree it's a good idea, but you never know. They took a risk making this show successful, perhaps a spin-off would only ruin it. We're also yet to see how Series 5 turns out.

A Merlin movie should at least be on the horizon soon. I don't have any good ideas to include the main cast. One thing I'd like to see is the great purge flashbacks, but that may distract from what makes the show so lovable, and that is the main cast we've had for four years.
