I see where you're coming from, but this is too much of a cheating death device to be included as a faux death one, imho. #startrek

Died: 2026
Undied: altered future 2007-2026
Cause of death: Trachea crushed after interrogation by Terminator Cameron, ostensibly for failure-to-cooperate in an attempt to kill 2026 John Connor.
Does it count as death: "Apparently not".....
Allison's failure-to-cooperate was a self-sacrificial attempt to save John Connor in 2026.
Which may or may not have worked.
Terminator Cameron was caught, whilst attempting to kill John, scrubbed and sent back to 1999 to find John and jump him forward to 2007.
2007 John and Cameron caused the removal from Depot 37 of the Coltan that Terminator Cameron would have been built from, at Depot 37 in 2026, thus preventing Cameron from existing in 2026 and killing Allison. Thus establishing a future where Allison continues to live.
Later John jumps from 2009 to this 2026.
Thus establishing a future where no John Connor had existed since 2009 because he had jumped out of its past.
So John and Allison then exist together again in an altered future 2026.
Cameron's chipless endoskeleton is left back in this future's 2009 past, along with the physical Turk/John Henry AI (which may have merged with Cameron's chip either just prior to the jump or earlier when Cameron's chip briefly merged with the (Crom?)ARTIE traffic control network) and Sarah Connor.
Cameron's chip (+AI?) is in Cromartie's endoskeleton along with Terminator Catherine Weaver in this future, with a live Kyle Reese and Uncle Derek Reese,
who.....
Died: 2009
Undied: altered future 2009-2026
Cause of death: "Bullet to the brainpan, squish."
Does it count as death: Every death counts. #startrek

I suspect that Season 3 of TSCC may have been more complicated...... #startrek

If you include "Riverworld" does that mean everyone is included on the list? #startrek

For instance, I read on Wikipedia that Gwen Stacy dies in Ultimate Spider-Man, just like in the mainstream universe. Cool, right? I heard soon after that she was brought back. Now I have zero desire to read it past that point.
I wish people would kill off their characters and leave them that way. DC and Marvel especially. #startrek

The original ending is such a downer; Shiro and Aina rush a giant mobile weapon in a half destroyed Gundam and sacrifice themselves to finish it off.
What's so unnerving about it is that you don't actually see them die; you see the explosion from the perspective of Shiro's unit who pretty much say what you're thinking "Ahh, he's still alive." They start running up to see him, calling his name without receiving a response and the credits start rolling.
After the credits are over you see a silhouette of a one-legged Shiro limping away with the help of Aina. You know they're never going to see their friends again because Shiro would be court martialed and Aina betrayed Zeon to destroy that mobile armor, so you assume the two lovers live out the rest of their lives in South America together. #startrek
