I like how he fits in Merlin but it also feels like he holds back Merlin as you said.

I was looking at tweets last night about Merlin and I came across a 33 second twitter clip that showed Gwaine and Gaius on horses inside the castle and they were filming it (In the last 2 days).

Although as far as I'm aware they are filming episodes 12/13 so if anything I would expect his death in the two part finale as its apparent he is still alive on set as of 9/12/2012 ;p. But that is only answering to your pole and blog about the death of Gaius.

I personally don't see his death happening this season because of the clips I saw of him still on set, though this doesn't mean he won't be killed in episode 12/13. The only reason I could see given for Gaius being killed would be an "eye for an eye" in the season 5 two part finale.

I cannot wait for the season to begin!
