I could not agree more. I have so far not been impressed with the new guest stars except Ruadan. But I do agree: I think Alvarr reappearing would have been much better and would have made a lot of sense. The points you made in this post clearly prove what I have been thinking about how the series is now: Merlin is not the show it once was. In fact, it is now crucially different. Bringing back the guest stars from earlier seasons would link all the seasons together more. Cause right now, both Series 5 has the least things connecting it to the rest of the seasons than all the other seasons have. Great post!
