User blog comment:123Action/Movies or reboot/@comment-5102537-20120910152012

Imagine a reboot would take place in the time skips. What we have seen per season was the happenings within approx. one year at the most and it filled 13 epsiodes. Now imagine what we all could see if they dealt with the first skipped year between season two and three, then the next between season three and two and then three years between four and five, all in three movies.

Between two and three - The search for Morgana, lots of battles, lost of tension with Uther among the knights mabye or with everyone when he sends more and more men out to die on the search for Morgana. Lots of battles, some of them with Arthur and Merlin participating. Morgana's year with Morgause, lots of sorcery, magical people/creatures, new characters, a possible explanation why Morgana got insane and pure evil.

Between three and four - Lots of situations with the knights, how they intercat with each other, their Acts, LANCELOT and Lancelot and Gwen, Uther in his emotional breakdown - did he know about the knights and what did he say/think/do about it, maybe lots of tension between him and Arthur, Uther dealing with Arthur's and Gwen's relationship, Arthur and the secret of his birth, Uther's funeral and maybe other kings attending it and having business with Arthur and strengthen their relationship, Agravaine and why he helped Morgana - maybe they have met before and there were good reasons, tension between Camelot and Caerleon and maybe battles, Merlin growing more and more selfish and callous due to some happenings we haven't seen, maybe new prophecies.

Between four and five - it remains to be seen but from what we already know, they could deal with Morgana being held prisoner and being tortured, Mordred becoming a knight and a lot more depending on what season five will be about.

There is so much they could deal with in a reboot and which would be completely new but also familiar with all the characters we have come to love and we meanwhile miss (Morgause, Uther, Lancelot, even Agravaine if he gets a proper background-story). Three movies wouldn't even be enough to deal with it all.

A continuation would be boring to me because the Arthurian legend has always been very boring to me and there is only so much one can tell. What should season six be about? The Holy Grail? I wouldn't be interested in it at all, not to mention that magic and the Christian tale of the Holy Grail would most certainly collide with each other.
