User blog comment:Aithusa07/Deleted Scenes from Series 4/@comment-4623180-20120204163221

I thought they didn't include the Morgause scene simply due to time restrictions. Perhaps I was wrong, perhaps they did remove it and not include it in deleted scenes (or even bother sharing it on their Facebook page) because they thought it affected the whole story negatively. Perhaps they did have enough of Morgause and wanted to boost Morgana's independence. Perhaps the idea of Morgause's spirit being there as Morgana's guide, and that they could possibly meet up again after death isn't what they wanted, because it would still make Morgana seem like a bit of a puppet like she was in S2 and S3. You never know. It was cool, though, the whole spirit world thing, but perhaps if it had gone ahead it would've seemed a bit irrelevant. Maybe they want the death of evil characters to be more final to make the show less complex.

As for the other ones you mentioned, I'm sure there are hundreds or script lines like "bog man" we've missed out. I suppose that's just a part of the production process, they can't fit in everything... I just wish they'd post them online through Facebook, Twitter or YouTube.

I think Series 5 can compensate for some of these, maybe in the following ways: -Making another longer hug scene between Merlin and Arthur -Integrating some of the removed dialogue from the Gwaine scenes with Merlin into future scenes with the both of them. -I think Hunith should definitely appear again, and perhaps they could even exchange a token of Balinor's or something, and have a deep conversation that goes for at least 3-4 mins screen time about it all. We really need that, unless they're going to contradict the show's name and just have loads of scenes with Arthur and Gwen or other characters.

As for Morgana and Merlin, I definitely hope for more deep conversations between them. Throw Mordred into the pot, and well, well, well. Let's just find out! 8 months to go!
