This is what would probably fix the knights' characters up a little:


 * An episode with Gwaine and his sister as main characters. The moments between them would make them a memorable duo, and add depth and background behind them. Gwaine's sister should arrive in Camelot to watch a knighting ceremony of his or something. Maybe then she has trouble of her own, and calls for the help of the knights, and Merlin who goes with them, to go on a mission. Better this than an unknown friend of Gwen's, we've never heard before, barging into Camelot and causing the knights to be seduced by a giant octopus (Lamia). Gwaine could beg for his sister to leave Camelot, but then throughout the story he realises the importance of family, and they grow close, but it ends with her having to leave, and Gwaine misses her. :(


 * A moment (lasting for a few minutes) between Gwen and Leon (maybe they get trapped in the same room or something) when they discuss their past- how Gwen's mother served Leon. Maybe something that reminds Gwen of her mother, then Leon comes along and complements her, then they talk about her. As long as they execute it very well. Maybe mention it twice throughout the Series, that would be good. Some backstory behind Gwen, too.


 * Elyan... Please don't make him get locked up or possessed again! That's all that's been happening to him! Give him some dignity! Maybe a mission where he leads the way, and is one of the main characters of the episode. I want a lot more moments between him and Gwen, and maybe Elyan and Merlin, where he tells Merlin more about his past.


 * Percival... a big guy with a soft side. So stereotypical.

I think they could add some backstory behind him, where the knights go on a mission which happens to be at a village where Percival used to live. We get to see old friends of Percival. Learn about abuse Percival suffered as a child which toughened him up. Learn about his past love life, and maybe he reunites with an old lover, which he was separated from during an attack. Maybe he takes his shirt off to reveal some scars from an attack. And maybe they finally confront these attackers, who disbanded, and we see some sort of redemption... as long as we get in depth with Percival!

I'd be really happy for at least one filler episode in Series 5, and that is with one knight leading the story, a more recent one. For them to be acting in character, too, not having moodswings. Or they could implement these into a plot following the main arch of the story.
