If for no other reason, I think Gaius should be there just because he is so enjoyable to watch and I love the relationship between him and Merlin. Other than that though, there has to come a time that Gaius will not be there and Merlin will have to go on on his own. In order for Merlin to fulfill his destiny as the great advisor in Camelot, I think this has to happen, sadly.
