MERLIN
If They Can Reboot Sex and the City after 20 Years, They Can Reboot BBC Merlin after 10
Bring Back the Magic!
Ten years ago, BBC’s “The Adventures of Merlin” went off the air after five seasons and we diehard fans have been clamoring for its return ever since.
The recent reboot of “Sex and the City” has given “Merlin” Fans hope. If Carrie and the gang can come back, why not Merlin and Arthur?
Sure, Arthur died at the end of the last episode. So what? That can be fixed. There are hundreds of fan-written stories that bring Arthur back to life after Merlin puts him on that boat — my favorite being the version in which, right after Merlin sets Arthur adrift on the Lake of Avalon, Gaius comes flying in on the dragon bringing the Cup of Life and Merlin swims back out to Arthur’s boat to save him with it.
Hey if the Cup O’ Life worked on Sir Leon in “The Coming of Arthur Part One” it can work on Arthur Pendragon now.
Morgana died too. Who cares? Any good writer could fix that. Katie McGrath can return as Morgana’s long lost twin — or even as her identical cousin a la “The Patty Duke Show.” (There’s an ancient cultural reference for you.)
