Morganaforever I do agree with you on your concerns if Morgana isn't the main villain of Series 5 Katie McGrath will get less screen time because I've actually shown concern when they have had her not appear in an episode at all in Series 4 they did it for three episodes which was a little concerning. I do realize that sometimes a episode might not call for Morgana in it and the show does film multiple episodes at the same time but if you don't count Merlin and Arthur cast wise Uther, Gaius and Agravaine appear in every episode and some episode don't aways require them to appear. Mind you I'm not trying to say anything bad about the actors or the character but you would think that out of all the cast members that you want to see in ever episode of all 4 Seasons of the show's history are the four main young actors. So it gets concerning sometimes or at least a annoying that sometime Morgana isn't in a episode or even Gwen because you think that those characters should have some form of impact on all the episodes. So if they did choose to make Morgana not the main villain in Series 5 I would almost hope the shows comes up with a great story idea of how to do it. One idea I thought of that would of been a good idea of how to use Morgana as villain in the show would be to have her be prisoner like how the The Great Dragon was for Season 1 and 2 an have Merlin be kind of her prison warden and have interaction with her the save way he did with The Great Dragon. But at the same time having her prisoner she could still have some kind of influence outside of Camelot that would cause attacks and overall trouble. An the simple idea of Merlin and Morgana have some kind of temporary alliance would make for a good story and just seeing them interact with one another would be great to see. But also like you said there so many thing you could do with the idea of them working together as a team you have the elements of them not trusting each other, there current history with one another, there past history, there once friendship, them even likeing one other and the simple topic of magic. Overall the idea of Merlin and Morgana having more interaction with one another is something that should be seen in Series 5. An your other ideas of Morgana and Arthur mirroring Uther and Nimueh is another reason why the show should have Morgana less outside the walls of Camelot and being the Villain to simply having more interaction with the rest of the cast. In the end I guess hopefully we'll hear some news that will help fans waiting for when the new season starts. Also hopefully since Doctor Who is going to start in Autumn of this year maybe Merlin Series 5 will come back a little earlier this year to take over the time slot Doctor Who normally appears in during its normall air date.
