User blog:Morganaforever/Gaius is a bad old man!

This blog post concerns our favourite physician, Gaius! As I've already broken the myth of the perfect knights of Camelot on |on that blog post, I thought it was high time to talk about Gaius! Sorry, all Gaius fans out there (sorry Gerda!) but he is really not so good as he is lately presented. And that is why: The good thing is, Gaius later changed, at least he loved Merlin as his son and protected him with his life! But, really, the man is a sinner. In my opinion, his story should end by the middle of series 5 and let the new generation handle things in a different way than he and Uther did.
 * He remained silent while all the other sorcerers were slain, hang, burned or drowned to death by Uther. He only saved his loved one, Alice. That was quite a selfish action, but I guess there were not many things he could do, so I forgive him for that...
 * But not for approving of Uther's actions on every episode and even calling him a fair and just king on "To Kill the King", who does his best for his people! How could he say that? Uther would kill anyone, if he said "magic" in front of him.
 * He does not let Merlin do the right decisions. For example, if Merlin listened to him, Aithusa would have never come to life! If Merlin minded his business whenever Gaius told him to, Arthur would have already died a thousand times over.
 * He did not help Morgana when she most needed him. She pleaded for someone to help her, and he only drugged her with heavier drugs day after day. The only person he ever helped was Merlin, Alice and Morgause as a child.
 * He is afraid to go againist Uther. Remember how on "The Beginning of the End" Merlin and Morgana risked their heads by hiding Mordred in her chambers, and Gaius only said something similar to "get him out as soon as possible, and don't get me into this"? He was a boy! How could he be so heartless or be afraid of Uther at a time like this? Definitely unacceptable.
 * Not actually a character's flaw, but a slight plot hole here...on "The Beginning of the End", Gaius told Merlin "you're no physician", meaning he had no talent as a physician and that he did not help Mordred recover at all. However, in "Lamia" he sent Merlin to tend to a whole village? I'm pretty sure one does not become good in the subject of medics so easily and soon, especially if he is busy fighting mortal enemies, witches, commanding dragons, and saving a prince's/king's life. Merlin also seemed pretty uninterested in Gaius' job, until of course "Lamia", when he suddenly transformed to a great physician!
