Lost death pool update: Week twelve

Any response from Erin on this?

Don't forget how many times ppl came "back to life" in shows like alias, and they weren't on any weird island in that show. Perspective?

I have no idea how the Death Pool works, nor am I a part of it, but I have to agree with CW. It seems more fair to wait until you have a concrete answer than to change things while assuming something. After all, it was assuming that Mikhail was dead, when we know find out he wasn't that caused this problem in the first place. NOW you are going to assume he's alive, when we might find out he WAS dead, but was brought back to life somehow (I'm not even going to conjecture how). You should wait until there's an explanation. But it's TVSquad's game and I guess you're playing by TVSquad's rules...

I agree with CW. There's a difference between never dead and resurrected (unless the rules say that the character has to stay dead).....

Otherwise, we might have to rethink the whole Jesus died on the cross for our sins and was reborn. :)

Needless to say, I'm a little bummed. But they're only toys, right? Anyway, I'm going to try to defend the Mikhail death position. When he went through the sonic fence, we heard a loud noise. It was active. Blood shot out of his ears and nose and he foamed at the mouth. He then collapsed. I contend that the sonic fence killed him. Whether his body healed afterwards, he was revived by the island, or he's an illusion/clone is irrelevant because we saw Mikhail suffer a trauma that caused him to die. Of course, there's no proof that he flatlined, but there's also no proof that he remained alive. I say we wait until we conclusively learn what happened post-sonic fence to deduct any points. I'm obviously biased here, but this is an island where weird stuff happens all the time. Some people appear where they aren't, some people see the future, and 50 people survived a freaking pressurized plane splitting apart above an uncharted island and the subsequent fall. If Mikhail died and came back to life, I think I should keep the points. If he in fact never died, and it's addressed, I'll concede. But if anyone else comes back to life (Christian Shepherd for example), I demand justice!

Without an official explanation you can easily assume that the fence does not kill humans. It just causes you to have a seizure and bursts your ear drums. Remember, Mikhail did appear to be breathing after he went through the fence. Mikhails "thank you" to Locke is easy proof that he knew he wasn't going to die and that the island would heal him quick enough.
