MD Thoughts

Okay. Here's a thought. It's probably not a new thought at all, but...it exists.

No one can die. Unless they're burned. I'm going to go with burning actually working for now, until proven otherwise. If I missed a line of dialogue somewhere that contradicts this, let me know.

So. Let's say Jack was incinerated. Instantly. Completely. How does he come back from that? I mean, of course, prior to the Miracle. And I know he's been exploded and came back from that, but burnt to nothing but ash? That isn't regenerating cells, as there is no point to start from. Just...ash.

Also, if Owen had really wanted to die...couldn't they have incinerated him? It'd work the same way, I imagine.

I'm going to go...stop being morbid now.

As you said, it's funny what we are willing to accept and what we choose for further study. It'd be much easier if it had some sort of internal consistency, but it doesn't. I think that's what we're struggling with. The fact that we're TRYING to make sense of it is some sort of commentary on the human condition, I'm sure, only I'm afraid of whether it's literal or meta :)

Owen would be grass. Definitely grass.

"And what IS that smell?"

"That would be you..."
