I agree with Fimber. In addition to the reasons already stated, I get the impression in the last scene between Merlin and Gaius, where Gaius tells him, "I'll have your favorite meal waiting for you," that there's a huge air of 'they'll never see each other again' to it. Gaius' last words to Merlin are "Now go...Look after him..." which is what we can presume Merlin is still doing in the present-day scene. I really wish someone would prove me wrong though, because the thought of Merlin never returning to Camelot is what really tears my heart out about the finale. I've heard rumors of possible promotional pictures or a lost scene from the original script that would show Merlin back in Camelot after Arthur's death, but I've not been able to track down anything substantial along these lines.
