If the movies were done with different actors, it would never be the same. And you are right, even a reboot could be as weird and "bad" (in my opinion) as season four, with plotholes and overlooked storylines again. Sure. That's why I have lost my hope in a good project if the show follows the path of darkness and overstated "maturity" which to me is actually immaturity. Season four was like reading a comic but not like watching a good tv show.

Anyway, my great interest in the show ended with Uther's and Lancelot's death as well as with the beginning of the Arthurian legend and the knights that have only been some supporting characters anyway and of who we don't know much about.

Aside from the fact that Uther surely won't be further explored in upcoming seasons, I think exploring him now that he is dead wouldn't work well. I wanted to see what happnes in a consistent way and not in kind of flashbacks or maybe only through what others say or think about him in the show. And as we could see, everything about Uther in season four when he was mentioned was not very positive and contradictional to what we have seen in previous seasons. The show wouldn't have been possible the way we saw it without him, and taking out the most important piece of the puzzle is just not a good idea and destroys the stories that have made the show the success it has become. Why did or do we love the show so much? It was because of what we got to see from the beginning, so changing it all into the opposite can't be the reason why we all have watched it from the start.

Uther will appear only in one epsiode in season five and I'm sure that this one epsiode will again only focus on Arthur and maybe a bit on Merlin, with Uther being a side-effect again. There will be no further exploration because just one appearance in one epsiode can't be enough for that. And how would they want to explore him in further seasons? I doubt that he will come back from the afterlife all the time to stop by and say hello....

If the reboot - or a continuation - will be again only about Arthur and without the dead characters and with different actors, I see no reason why I should watch it.
