Hmm, let me ask you, if you were given the chance to write the scripts for a Series 6, what would it be?

Let me note a few things.


 * Arthur and Merlin is what the show was really mainly about- the bromance. And it became more and more about it, I think many can agree- it's what kept the show together. Merlin protecting Arthur. Arthur can't just come back alive without the show looking like a joke. They predicted his death, the dragon said what has come to pass has come to pass, Colin acted out a very emotional ending scene between Merlin and Arthur at the end of Series 5. They can't just bring him back again in Series 6. That would mean, well, death basically doesn't exist in the land of Albion. And if he could come back, all the other characters who died may as well come back too. Now if that happens it would be a recycled show, it would have no ending.


 * The producers were entirely happy, and the cast, supposedly, they stressed in so many interviews the finale wrapped it all up and they were happy with the ending, it was the original plan ,the way it was meant to be.


 * Who would be the new villain? The last priestess is dead, and she was really meant to be the last villain in the show. We saw her grow from good to bad and she was in the centre of the political battle the show really became about- accepting magic and the barriers in doing this.

I think it is time to let go and be more logical about all of this- having more and more of something is really going to devalue it, and Series 5 had many plot holes, and an ending so many people hated, what makes it mean Series 6 will be any better? It just makes no sense, I don't see any reason to your argument. The show has ended, and it's time to grow new wings and move onto another show (which I have) and get on with other things in life, that are new and fresh. A new series would not be new and fresh, it would be a recycled, for-the-sake-of-it television dilemma.

Thank you!
