hhmmm, i have tried to be in julians shoes and think of why she would want/or not want nimueh to return. TO RETURN 1.there have been many requests for nimueh to return as we all really enjoyed her performance in seaon one ( and unlike two sisters >_> she knows when and how to smirk that describes the most epic villain ever) 2. in many of the arthurian legends, Merlin's lover and killer were nearly always Nimueh. However if she were to return, a romance between them would be impossible without an enchantment, as she had attempted to kill hunith and gaius before Merlin killed her. Even if that weren't the circumstances, i think Nimueh is a bit too old for Merlin. Although she appears to be young, she was friends with uther before the Purge. The reason for her youth is most likely because of Nimeuh's talent in illusions. 3. A perfect reason for Nimueh to return is that she holds many dark secrets. Our only official link to the past is Gaius, but he prefers to keep whats in the past forgotten. WHY NOT TO RETURN 1. Nimueh's main goal was to have revenge on Uther, however in the last series he died. 2. It is very likely that Mordred will return in the next series and the writers may believe that having Nimueh return will be too much and distracting. There has to be a balance on in power, otherwise there would be no story if they weren't trying to overthrow another. Merlin is really the only protector against every magical threat, but versing Morgana and Nimueh and Mordred, he would be overwhelmed easily. Although he is destined to be the most powerful warlock to have ever lived, he is still has not gained that title yet.

Okay everybody is allowed to poke at my comment and say this has a loop hole, i'd be more than happy, but i will be down right angry if you dare insult me. Happy New year and can't wait for the next and likely last season of merlin!
