I agree with all, although my opinion on Gaius has changed over time. I think him being alive is still pretty important. After all, he's Merlin's only support, with magic as well. We also have to assume because he has magic and he's a physician, in this magical land of myth and magic, it increases his lifespan by over 20 years.

I guess that's the only conclusion I can come to..

Anyway, I doubt Gaius will die. Being a family show, I also doubt all the characters will die leaving Merlin standing in the end. There would be mass outrage..

My biggest fear is, Mordred dying (with them leaving so much of his story untold) and Morgana living to continue plotting in Series 6, and no magic reveals. If something like that happened I would lose all my horses...
