User blog comment:Dryuuu/Why a reboot isn't a bad idea/@comment-4650675-20120928061835

Hmmm, nice post! I believe that a reboot would only be a good idea, in case the show gives a proper ending. The producers began the story, keeping in mind that they would present the younger years of the warlock Merlin, which means they probably didn't imagine the show presenting the whole legend...which means, the end of Merlin may not be the end of the legend!

In that case, I would not choose a reboot. If the show ends, though, and the battle of Camlann happens, I think that a rebot is inevitable. In that case, I wouldn't choose series 1-series 2 for the first movie, because simply almost nothing changed between those series (except Arthur beginning to have feelings for Gwen, but we certainly cannot have a whole movie about Arthur and Gwen romance). The transition between series 2 and series 3, series 3 and series 4 and, finally, series 4 and series 5 would be the best choice though, because so many interesting things happen (Morgana's thoughts after Merlin's poisoning, Morgana slowly being corrupted, Merlin's guilt, Uther's desperate attempts to find her, Morgana later being trained under Morgause, Uther's and Arthur's thoughts about her betrayal, Lancelot's time as a knight of the Round Table, Uther becoming psychologically ill, Agravaine allying with Morgana, Morgana being imprisoned and tortured, and so many more!)
