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

*Update: Does Deadpool and/or Anyone from Smallvile count?
05:03 PM
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

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

There's a quick revival technique established early in the book by an alien race, but Bella's takes about 20 years due to the severity of her injuries. She's not even fully her, making the revival actually somewhat logical. #startrek

Apparently that isn't enough to help the ratings though...
I've stopped watching FlashForward because I realized I dislike all the characters and although the premise was cool they mucked around too much to keep me interested.

See this is the problem I have too. I'm having to pick and choose which shows I want to watch not really on what channel, but on what website. Mostly because I'll be damned if I miss any show I love, no matter what day its on...
CW's player, however, is DISMAL and I refuse to watch any thing on their website, lest they want me to not have a monitor to watch it on any more after I chuck mine through the wall because their player froze on me for the 20th time when coming back from one of their self promoting commercials.
Basically my thursday nights consist of Bones, then Supernatual, then the Mentalist. Usually I watch Fringe and Heroes on Hulu, on Fridays because I'd rather watch Supernatural on TV rather on the crappy CW player, and because while I'll still watch heroes, its not good enough to cut into my House time.
Tuesdays, Wednesdays however are for the most part a black hole where there's nothing else is really on.. I think they need to start looking into shifting some stuff around and see how that goes before they just end some really good shows..
And.. I haven't even watched FlashFoward at all despite the fact that it SHOULD be something I'd love.. The thing is, all the excessive promotional hype crap we saw leading up to it was enough to turn me off to it.. I like hearing about a show, hearing the premise, and leaving it at that till it premieres.. SPECIALLY if the show is about enigmas wrapped in mysteries.. Fringe was hyped a lot but not nearly to the extent FlashForward was.. I just ended up hating the characters and the plot of FlashForward way before the show even hit the screen. #fringe
