Hey guys, I personally disagree and I think a flashback will never happen. It isn't in the spirit of the show. I wouldn't enjoy a flashback episode. It's not only bad at attracting viewers (some say be new to the show so they'll need continuous episodes to keep them hooked), but it'd be hard finding any relevance and the reason to have a whole episode devoted to flashbacks. Plus, really, four series of new plots (yes, some following similar formulas) then suddenly *bam* one episode going back, I don't think it'd work. That's what a movie comes for. Ah, but then comes the trouble. If it were to be set in the time of The Great Purge, there'd be no Merlin...
