Ooh, were should I start?

I would probably write an entire different season. First of all, I wouldn't kill Uther off (having mentioned that, I wouldn't kill anyone off) but let him stay until the very end. Changing Morgana back into a sensible person who can see clearly and decide who is the enemy and the friend or potential ally (Arthur, for example). I would write a plot that works towards some peace between Uther and Morgana after Morgana makes peace with Arthur at least on a personal level.

Uther would recover slowly and see what went wrong under his reign. He would be more open towards magic and maybe even trying to convince Arthur who can't really accept magic due to what happened with Morgana and Morgause. A slight change of perspective, so to speak.

Merlin would not only care for Arthur but for everyone, like he did in the first three seasons. He would continue trying to find a solution for a peaceful coexistence between the Old Religion and the new era, ideally by finding some kind of New Religion, which means the full acceptance and freedom of magic-users living side by side with non-magic-users., only without the dogmas of the Old Religion.

I would let Aithusa being raised by Kilgharrah, at least for a while.

There is so much I would change that I can't write it down right now.
