Sorting Algorithm of Deadness/Live-Action TV

Sorting Algorithm of Deadness
Using the scientifically Infallible power of the Sorting Algorithm of Deadness, who do you think is the next in line for being brought back from the great Bus in the sky?

To use the Algorithm, simply add the Column's "Death Value", and divide by the number of applicable rows.

Only Bits And Pieces || At The Morgue || Never Found, Frozen, Petrified || Left for Dead ||
 * align=center border=1 width=100%
 * Relative deadness factor || Deader Than Dead || Maybe Back Later || Be Back Soon || Death? What's That? ||
 * Death Value || 4 || 3 || 2 || 1 ||
 * Cause of death || Irony, Bridge Drop, Overkill, Stuffed in The Fridge, Ret Gone || Redemption, Sacrifice, Bus Crash, Mortal Wound Reveal || No One Could Survive That, just plain killed in battle || Jumping ||
 * Audience Expectation || Anyone Can Die, Kill Em All || Killed Off for Real, Tonight Someone Dies || Disney Death || Back From the Dead, Death Is Cheap, Nobody Can Die ||
 * Body Found? || Dead and Buried
 * Reaction || Montage, Bond One Liner || He's Dead Jim || Its Personal || Faux Death ||
 * Last Words || Crap, Killed Mid Sentence, Carry on men, His Name Is || Catch Phrase, Famous Last Words, Final Speech, Obi Wan Moment || "Fly, you fools!" "Piece of cake" || "My Death Is Just the Beginning" ||
 * Characterization || Red Shirt, Loved One, Mauve Shirt || Recurring Character, C List Fodder || Regular || Protagonist, Archvillain ||
 * When did they die? || 10+ years ago, Series Finale || 5-10 years ago || Same year || Same arc ||
 * "Died" and come back? || Not yet || Died once, but got better || Twice || I've lost count ||

If the character hasn't died yet (but seems likely to), see Sorting Algorithm of Mortality. All of this is trumped by the First Law of Resurrection.

Currently, from Code Geass and  from Advance Wars: Days of Ruin have scored 4, the highest possible. The latter is more notable by having 4 in every category instead of getting the CLAMP bonus that the former got. No characters have got the lowest possible score of 1 yet, but Davros and The Master are joint leaders in the death defying derby at 1.75, even beating South Park's Kenny.

Baseline Example: The death of Superman.
 * Cause: Heroic Sacrifice, so he's not coming back from that too quickly, or the sacrifice will be cheapened. 3.
 * Genre: It's a comic book, so Death Is Cheap. 1.
 * The Body: Deader Than Dead, a Pieta Plagiarism too for supes sake! So no chance of Faking the Dead. 4.
 * Reaction: Really Dead Montage, uh-oh. 4.
 * Characterization: Protagonist. 1.
 * When did he die: Same year, so 2.
 * Come Back?: This was a first, so 4.
 * Average: So add it up... we get a pretty high score, 19! Since it's not a videogame, divide by 7, and we get... 19/7 = 2.7, meaning supes isn't coming back for at least a few months, maybe even years. In actuality the Death Of Superman happened in January 1993 and he came back some time before May 1994.

Now let's make a prediction with the recent death of Batman in Final Crisis.
 * Cause: Heroic Sacrifice, give or take. 3.
 * Genre: Comic book, so Death Is Cheap. 1.
 * The Body: Dead and buried, but it's a little more complicated. Still, it's a 4.
 * Reaction: He's Dead Clark, plus "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?" probably counts as a Really Dead Montage. 3.5.
 * Last Words: "Try Me." 3.
 * Characterization: It's The Goddamn Batman, people. 1.
 * When did he die: Same year, so 2.
 * Come Back?: This would be the first time, so 4.
 * Average: 21.5/8= 2.7. A semi-high score, and DC seems to be sticking to this one for a while. Still, he'll definitely be back, likely before the end of 2010 at the latest.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy's Death at the end of Season 5
 * Cause: Sacrifice -- 3
 * Genre: Anyone Can Die/Disney Death -- 2.5
 * Body Found?: Dead and Buried -- 4
 * Reaction: Montage -- 4
 * Last Words: Final Speech -- 3
 * Characterization: Protagonist -- 1
 * When: Same Year -- 2
 * Died Before?: Once -- 3
 * Total: 22.5/8 = 2.8125 -- Maybe back later (but sometime soon)
 * Oh look, she comes back early in the next season!

Battlestar Galactica

The show-runner has claimed he wanted us, in the gap between seasons, to ponder Starbuck's highly ambiguous post-mortem appearance. Is she an Obi-Wan style hallucination, or properly Back From the Dead? Let's see if the algorithm can tell us.
 * Cause of Death: Redemption/suicide, so 3.
 * This show has previously been at pains to establish that Anyone Can Die: 4.
 * Body: Never Found, and the search was called off, on the always suspicious grounds that No One Could Survive That. Looking more hopeful. 3.
 * Reaction: No Really Dead Montage, but plenty of grief-y scenes intended to hammer home her properly-deadness. She's dead, Apollo. 3.
 * Characterization: Some fans characterize Starbuck as The Hero (with a low chance of permanent death) while others see her as the fracked-up The Lancer to Apollo's more straight-arrow Hero (which would make her much more expendable).
 * But: we've been frequently told she's The Chosen One, and tellingly, we still haven't seen what this might entail. So lets give her a 1.
 * Died and come back?: Not unless you count her surviving a crash landing in season 1, so 4.
 * Final, non-algorithm bit of evidence? She's an asbestos-coated Plucky Girl.
 * Average: (19/7 = 2.71) Conclusion? A fine effort at keeping us guessing, but still, very probably back in the flesh.

Twenty Four

Tony Almeida.
 * Cause: Killed by the guy who killed his wife... I'd say that counts as a Bridge Drop, he really wasn't sacrificing himself for anything. 4.
 * Genre: DEFINITELY Anyone Can Die, not a good start for Tony. 4.
 * Body: Hell yes, he was in a bodybag, he's Deader Than Dead. 4.
 * Reaction: No Really Dead Montage (though in Twenty Four, only Teri got one of these), no silent clock. I'll count it as He's Dead Jim. 3. (For what it's worth, there was a bit of a "Really Dead Montage" for him. But still, no silent clock ...)
 * Characterization: A Regular. 2.
 * When did he die?: In Twenty Four's timeline, just under five years before, which puts him in line for the maximum. 4.
 * Average: 4 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 4 = 21/6 = 3.5. Not QUITE deader than disco, but still pretty dead. I guess that's why Twenty Four fans are so pissed that they're bringing him back for season seven.

However, as for Jack Bauer's father Phillip...
 * Cause: Died in a fiery explosion with planes bombing the very oil rig he was at. Very flashy, very spectacular... No One Could Survive That. 2.
 * Genre: Anyone Can Die Anyone Can Die]], same as Tony. 4.
 * Body: Well, they Never Found the Body... 3.
 * Reaction: Wasn't really a reaction, since he was a bad guy... N/A.
 * Characterization: Big Bad of season six. 1.
 * When did he die?: Right now, the same year in the 24 timeline... 2.
 * Average: 2 + 4 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 12, 12/5 = 2.4... somewhere between Back Next Episode and Back Next Season. 24 fans begin to wonder why the writers chose TONY to be the one they brought back for season seven...

We'll go ahead and do Jack Bauer (end of season seven) too.
 * Cause: Heroic Sacrifice, he contracted a deadly disease to stop the deployment of a bioweapon. 3.
 * Genre: DEFINITELY Anyone Can Die. 4.
 * Body: Ended the season comatose. I'll count that as Frozen. 2.
 * Reaction: "I'm not ready to let you go." Indication that his daughter will do anything to save him... quite hopeful... 1.
 * Last Words: A series of final speeches given to both Renee Walker and an imam. 3.
 * Characterization: Protagonist. 1.
 * When did he die?: Same arc. 1.
 * Died and came back?: Twice, technically. 2.
 * Average: 3 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 17/8 = 2.13. Of course they're not going to kill Jack Bauer off. He'll be back probably the first hour of season eight. They MIGHT have him spend a couple hours in a coma (if they want to highlight Renee some more), but he's Jack Bauer, he'll be back snapping necks and killing terrorists by hour three at the very latest.

And finally, Teri Bauer.
 * Cause: Killed by her husband's coworker/ex-lover. Bridge Drop 4.
 * Genre: Anyone Can Die. Definately. 4.
 * Body: Deader Than Dead. 4.
 * Reaction: A Really Dead Montage - the only one in the series to date. 4.
 * Last Words: Closest to Oh Crap or Killed Mid Sentence. 4.
 * Characterization: Loved one. 4.
 * When did he die?: Series finale, 13 years ago show time. 4.
 * Average: 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 28/7 = a perfect 4.

Heroes

Alejandro's death in episode 2.20.
 * Cause of death: Bridge Drop via a really, really stupid (and unarmed!) confrontation with last season's Big Bad (4).
 * Genre: It used to be Anyone Can Die, but several characters exhibit Death Is Cheap and can extend the favor (3).
 * Body: Deader Than Dead, and confirmed by a girl who can find anyone alive. (4).
 * Reaction: He was a third tier character and has had only his sister angsting over his death with an "It's Personal". (2).
 * Characterization: Red Shirt from day one (apparently confirmed by the actor as well), only barely hinting at Mauve Shirt, it only got worse when he and his sister ran into Sylar, at which point he was the third wheel in a tertiary plotline. (4).
 * When did he die: Same Year, so (2).
 * Average: 19/6, Add it up and you get... 3.16. Bye bye, Alejandro.

D.L. Hawkins' death in Four Months Ago.
 * Cause of Death: Actually managed to survive a Heroic Sacrifice at the end of Season 1, only to be killed by some random goon in the middle of the Time Skip to Season 2. Definitely Dropped a Bridge On Him. 4.
 * Genre: As stated above, Season 1 was Anyone Can Die, whereas Season 2 really likes to play around with Death Is Cheap. I give it a 3.
 * Body: Dead and buried. Deader Than Dead. 4.
 * Reaction: We get a Gory Discretion Shot to Niki's shocked face as D.L. gets shot in the chest, then we see Niki and Micah morning over his grave. I'd say He's Dead, Jim. 3.
 * Characterization: A Series Regular, although the whole Niki arch was kind of tenuously related to the show's main plotline. I'd still give him a 2.
 * When did he die: "Four Month Ago", so Same Year. 2.
 * Average: An even 3. D.L., we hardly knew ya...

Sylar's Death in "Dual"
 * Cause of Death: Stabbed in the back of the head and left in a burning building. No One Could Survive That 2)
 * Genre: For DL and Alejandro it might have been 3, but this is Sylar we're talking about (2) if not less
 * Body: Never Found the Body (3)
 * Reaction: Claire and family watching the building burn, reassuring each other he's finally gone. (2.5)
 * Characterization: Archvillain from the audience's point of view, Protagonist from the writer's. Either way (1)
 * When did he die: Same Arc (1)
 * Died and come back?: You could argue this back and forth but being impaled in season one and having his throat slit in season three should both count, so (2)
 * Average: 13.5/7 = 1.92 He showed up the next episode without even bothering to explain his survival. He's Sylar, he always comes back.
 * He didn't explain. Noah Bennet said in a later episode that the fire melted the brain-impaling glass that kept him dead.

death in "Cold Snap"
 * Cause of Death: Septic bullet wound. It was originally delivered when  showed up to try and save the fugitives after the plane crash, so we'll call it a Heroic Sacrifice. (3)
 * Genre: Normally Heroes borders on Death Is Cheap, but the recent Volume has been better about characters staying dead, so Killed Off for Real. (3)
 * Found the Body?: Died in  arms at the hospital. (4)
 * Reaction: A flatlining heart-monitor told us He's Dead Jim. (3)
 * Characterization: Recurring Character and Love Interest, (3)
 * When did  die?: Same arc. (1)
 * Died and came back?: Not yet. (4)
 * Average: 21/7 = 3. When even the director says a character's gone for good, you know they're not coming back.

death in the season four finale.
 * Cause of Death: Stupidly attacked Sylar, and was shown with throat viciously cut on screen. Bridge drop, 4.
 * Genre: Supposedly Anyone Can Die, but for some Death Is Cheap, so 3.
 * Body Found: Yes, and shown on screen. 4.
 * Reaction: Considering the massive to account for it, possibly close to a montage. Otherwise, not dwelt upon much. 3.
 * Characterization: Protagonist, but also The Atoner, so 2.
 * When: Same year, nearly the same arc as it was only two or three episodes ago. 1.5.
 * "Died" and Come Back: 1.5
 * Average: 19/7 = 2.71. But seeing as it's one of the more popular (Read, Polarizing) characters of the show, expect him back fairly soon. Like, next few episodes.

Doctor Who:

The Master
 * Cause of death: Bridge Drop (shot by his wife and refused to regenerate). 4.
 * Genre: As a whole and for allies, Killed Off for Real is the common option. But for iconic villains, Joker Immunity applies, so Death Is Cheap. 1.
 * Body: burned - Deader Than Dead (cremated). 4. BUT there's the ring which escapes the Doctor's notice, which is rather like a Human Popsicle. Let's say 2.
 * Reaction: He's Dead Jim. 3.

 * Characterization: Archvillain - and how. See below. 1.
 * When did he die? Last year. 2.

 * Average: 14/8 = 1.75... He'll be back.

Davros
 * Cause of death: No One Could Survive That - left on a burning and exploding spaceship. 2

 * Body: Left for Dead 1
 * Reaction: brief regret 2
 * Characterization: Archvillain 1
 * Last Words: Final Speech 3.
 * When did he die? Same year. 2.
 * "Died" and come back? Two actual deaths (Dalek gun and the Time War), repeatedly left for dead. 2
 * Average: 14/8 = 1.75. He'll be back, most likely.

The Daleks as a race (Journey's End)
 * Cause of death: Overkill. 4.
 * Genre: For iconic villains, Joker Immunity. See above. 1.
 * Body: We see them all explode. 4.
 * Reaction: He's Dead Jim. 3.
 * Last Words: Oh Crap. 4.
 * Characterisation: Archvillain. 1.
 * When: Same year. 2.
 * "Died" and come back: Lots of times. 1.
 * Average: 20/8 = 2.5 - remarkably high for Doctor Who, and might keep them dead for a few seasons. But forever? No.
 * And, true to form, the Daleks were back and ready to EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!! three episodes into Matt Smith's first season, in shiny new casings, no less!

 * Characterization: Protagonist; however, Generations was a torch-passing movie. 1.5

The Borg Queen (The Voyager death, not the First Contact one)

 * Average: 2.25. Could potentially be brought back, although she probably won't appear in canon again in the Prime Universe.

Torchwood

Toshiko Sato, series 2
 * Cause of death: Heroic Sacrifice. If she didn't drag herself along with that gunshot wound, the nuclear explosion would have got her instead. 4
 * Genre: Anyone Can Die. 4
 * Body: Deader Than Dead. 4
 * Reaction: He's Dead Jim. 3
 * Last Words: Final Speech. 3
 * Characterisation: Regular. 2
 * When: A couple seasons back. 2
 * Come Back?: No. 4
 * 26/8 = 3.250. Not promising.

Owen Harper, series 2:
 * Cause of death: Heroic Sacrifice. 4
 * Genre: Anyone Can Die. 4
 * Body: Trapped in an irradiated room. Never Found the Body. 2
 * Reaction: He's Dead Jim. 3
 * Last Words: Final Speech. 3
 * Characterisation: Regular. 2
 * When: A couple seasons back. 2
 * Come back: Earlier, for varying definitions of "back". 3
 * 23/8 = 2.875. Maybe we haven't seen the last of the King of the Weevils.

Ianto Jones, series 3:
 * Cause of death: Bridge'd. Infected with an alien virus. Alien junkie virus. 4
 * Genre: Anyone Can Die. Hell, two have already (see above). 4
 * Body: Deader Than Dead. 4
 * Reaction: He's Dead Jim. 3
 * Characterisation: Regular. 2
 * When: this arc. Yesterday, 1
 * Come back before?: If you count Kiss of Life in Cyberwoman, then yes. 3
 * Also, taking into account he also died in Turn Left, then it's down to 2
 * Average: 21/7 = 3.

Vera Juarez, series 4:
 * Cause of Death: Burned alive. Nobody Can Die (literally), but that's a Fate Worse Than Death. Let's call it Overkill. 4
 * Genre: Nobody Can Die, but given the nature of things, this section becomes non-applicable.
 * Body: Only Bits And Pieces: In episode 6 Colin, states that she's dust. 4
 * Reaction: Its Personal. 2
 * Last Words: Horrifying Screaming. 4
 * Characterisation: Regular. It was honestly looking like she was going to be a proper TW character. It was even made official by Jack in the same episode. 2
 * When: Same Arc. 1
 * Died Before? No. 4
 * 21/7 = 3.00. We may never see her again.

Warehouse 13

James Mac Phearson in the first episode of Season 2.
 * Cause: Killed without any warning by a villain only introduced earlier that episode, so Dropped a Bridge On Him. 4.
 * Genre: The only main character to die so far was Artie, and he was brought back via Disney Death less than five minutes of screentime later. 2.
 * The Body: We saw it disinegrate. 4.
 * Reaction: Artie seems sad, but we get nobody else's reaction. 3.
 * Last words: Final Speech. 3.
 * Characterization: Archvillian. 1.
 * When: Last season. 3.
 * Come Back?: Not yet. 4.
 * (4+2+4+3+3+1+3+4)/8=24/8=3. Since the "time" aspect of it will increase over the course of the next season, and, unlike Artie, there was no way for him to come back yet established, he might just be gone. If he does come back, it will almost definitely be because of H.G. Wells' time machine (it will be Mac Phearson earlier in life, of course, but same guy).

S3 finale was quite a massacre of characters. Let's see, chronologically:


 * Cause: sacrifice, You Have Outlived Your Usefulness (3.5)
 * Expectation: the series uses Disney Death a lot, however, by the end of the two-parter it's not so certain. (2.5)
 * Body: at the morgue (3)
 * Reaction: it's personal. Wow, can be very scary. (2)
 * Last words: a video message, (3)
 * Characterization: regular in S3 (2)
 * When: same arc (it's not over yet...), (1)
 * Came back: not yet (4)
 * 21/8=2.625, since is hell-bent on resurrecting, we will probably see  again.


 * Cause: redemption, sacrifice (3)
 * Expectation: the same (2.5)
 * Body: atoms floating around (4)
 * Reaction: between It's personal and He's Dead, Jim (2.5)
 * Last words: 2
 * Characterization: recurring (3)
 * When: same arc (1)
 * Came back: from death, nope. (4)
 * 24/8=3, maybe 'll be back.


 * Cause: bridge drop (4)
 * Expectation: still 2.5
 * Body: (4)
 * Reaction: nobody really liked, He's dead, Jim (3)
 * Last words: none (4)
 * Character: recurring (3)
 * When: same arc (1)
 * Came back: nope, but, 3.5
 * 25/8 = 3.125, unlikely, even more so that.

Dexter's (Season Four)
 * Cause: Pure irony, considering Dexter . Basically the definition of a 4.
 * Genre: Death is usually limited to the Big Bad of the season and Dexter's victims. 3.
 * Body Found: By Dexter.
 * Reaction: Flat What. 2.
 * Last words: Like that final phone message didn't break your heart. 4.
 * Characterization: Regular. 2.
 * When: I think it's been about a week since the episode aired. 1.
 * Came back: Not yet. 4.
 * Average: 24/8 = 3. I'd say that unless she too becomes Dexter's subconscious, she's gone for good.

How about Blakes Seven?

Let's start with.
 * Co D: Shot, so Death By Irony. 4
 * Genre: Anyone Can Die. 4
 * Body Found: Dead & Buried. 4
 * Reaction: So say a Montage-level thing. 4
 * Last Words: Kind of Killed Mid Sentence. 4
 * Characterization: Protagonist ...1.
 * When: Well the show ended. 4
 * Came back: Presumed dead once. Obviously got better. 3
 * Average: 28/8 = 3.5. Stick a fork in him, he's done.

Next is the Lancer,.
 * Co D: Therefore, Overkill. 4
 * Genre: Anyone Can Die. 4
 * Body Found: We don't see him dying, so for our purposes its Never Found. 3
 * Reaction: Calling it for Montage. 4
 * Last Words: Hmm...Oh Crap works best. 4
 * Characterization: Protagonist. 1.
 * When: Show ended. 4
 * Came back: Never. 4
 * Average: 28/8 = 3.5. As dead as.

Then for.
 * Co D: Surrounded, Overkill. 4
 * Genre: Anyone Can Die. 4
 * Body Found: Either Dead & Buried or Left For Dead . We will measure both. 4 or 1
 * Reaction: Montage-level again. 4
 * Last Words: Oh Crap-ish. 4
 * Characterization: Protagonist. 1.
 * When: Final episode. 4
 * Came back: Never. 4
 * Average: 29/8 & 26/8 = 3.625 OR 3.25. Average of Average is 3.4375. Less dead than either, still more than likely incorporeal.

How about a few for fun, starting with.
 * Heroic Sacrifice to save the rest of the team. 3
 * Genre: Anyone Can Die. 4
 * Body Found: Dead & Buried. 4
 * Reaction: He's Dead, Jim initially, . So, Montage-level. 4
 * Last Words: Famous Last Words & "Run, you fools!" combo. Give it a 3.
 * Characterization: Protagonist. 1.
 * When: Within the last five years of the show in-universe. 3
 * Came back: Never. 4
 * Average: 26/8 = 3.25. Less dead than expected. Still in no-hoper territory.

And what about ?
 * Co D: No One Could Survive That! 2
 * Genre: Anyone Can Die. 4
 * Body Found: The body is Never Found. 3
 * Reaction: He's Dead, Jim. Hardly ever mentioned again after the episode and no montage-style stuff during it. 3
 * Last Words: Yep. 3.
 * Characterization: Protagonist. 1.
 * When: Same year. 2
 * Came back: Never. 4
 * Average: 22/8 = 2.75. Surprisingly less likely to be dead !

Finally,.
 * Co D: Apparently killed while off-screen . Sounds like a Bridge Drop to me. 4
 * Genre: Anyone Can Die. 4
 * Body Found: The body is Never Found. 3
 * Reaction: He's Dead, Jim. Mentioned casually. 3
 * No last words recorded, so we will skip this one.
 * Characterization: Ex-protagonist, . Call it a Regular. 2.
 * When: Within the last 5 years or so. 3
 * Came back: Never. 4
 * Average: 23/7 = 3.286. Around the same territory as ; pretty much dead meat.

Primeval


 * Cause of death: No One Could Survive That - 2
 * Genre: Death Is Cheap - 1
 * Body found: Dead but not buried - 3.5
 * Reaction: He's Dead Jim - 3
 * Characterization: Protaganist - 1
 * When did she die: Same Episode - 0.5
 * "Died" and come back: Never - 4
 * Average:

Amber Volakis on House
 * Cause Of Death: Multi-organ failure caused by poisoning. Wilson pulled the plug on her for God's sake. Definitely qualifies as a bridge drop. 4
 * Genre: Killed Off for Real. 3
 * Body Found?: Hell yes. 4
 * Reaction: Kinda "He's Dead, Jim'', but the farewell scene clearly qualifies as a Montage. I'd give this one a 3.5
 * Characterization: Recurring Character/Loved One. Another 3.5 here.
 * When Did They Die?: Been two years. Let's count this one as a 2.5
 * Died and Came Back?: Nope, never. 4
 * Average = 3.5 - Should be dead as the dodo. We'll see...

Lost: Anyone who died before the show began, but returned.
 * Cause of Death: varies, but I definitely remember one (Eko's brother) being Death By Irony... so let's go with 4.
 * Genre: Anyone can die... except the main characters (with notable exceptions). So, it's about 3.5
 * Body found: Varies. For Jack Shepherd's father, his corpse was being transported in to be buried; for Eko's brother, it was taken on the plane. 3.5
 * Reaction: No clue.
 * Characterization: Loved One (more or less), so 4
 * When did they die?: Eko's brother died many years ago, while Jack's father just died before the series began. Splitting the difference, it's about 3.
 * "Died" and come back?: Not until the series starts, so 4 (until the series begins, after which it changes to 3). 3.5 works best.
 * Average: (4+3.5+3.5+4+3+3.5)/6 = 3.5833333333333333333333333333333. They're definitely coming back. Then again, we know that since it's already happened. (Note that .)

Now let's try, a fan favorite.
 * Cause of Death: Heroic Sacrifice, 4
 * Genre: Anyone Can Die, mostly, 3.5
 * Body Found: Left for Dead, 1
 * Reaction: He's Dead Jim, 3
 * Last Words: Famous Last Words, "" (written on his palm), 3
 * Characterization: Regular, so 2
 * When did they die?: Less than five years ago. 3.
 * "Died" and then came back: Nope, 4.
 * Unless you count [[spoiler: when Ethan hangs him and Jack got him better, then it's 3.
 * Average: (4+3.5+1+3+3+2+3+4)/8 = 2.5625 (or (4+3.5+1+3+3+2+3+3)/8 = 2.4375) Not bad odds, but not great, either. Plus he sorta came back in Hurley's visions.
 * In which he said he was definitively dead, but hey, it's all in Hugo's mind, right?

after the season 5 finale.
 * Cause Of Death: Somewhere between Sacrifice and Death By Irony, 3,5.
 * Genre: With his death, the series has reached the official Anyone Can Die status, 4.
 * Body found? Dead but not buried, 3,5.
 * Characterization: One of the main protagonists, 1.
 * When did he die? Same arc, 1.
 * "Died" and come back? Thrice, when he was thrown from the eight floor, when the hatch exploded and when Ben left him for dead in the pit, 1.
 * Average: (3,5+4+3,5+1+1+1)/6 = 2.33. The black shirt dude who has taken his appearance better be careful, 'cause Real Locke is quite likely to come back with vengeance.

Just for fun, Nikki and Paulo.
 * Cause Of Death: Death By Irony. It was Nikki's own stupid fault that she didn't listen to Arzt when he told her that the scent of the spider would attract others, plus the whole "Paulo lies"/"Paralyzed", plus just opening your eyes as the first shovel of earth hits your face when your friends bury you. Pretty darn ironic. 4
 * Genre: As stated above, 3.5
 * Body found?: Paralyzed and buried. Paralyzation practically over when the rest starts burying them, so I count this as a left for dead. 1.
 * Reaction: Not really a montage, but they get a really long funeral scene and the whole episode is centered around them being buried alive, so 4.
 * Last Words: Nikki gets a pretty Famous Last Words: the whole "Paolo Lies"/"Paralyzed" thingy. 3
 * Characterization: Technically regulars. 2
 * When did they die?: : A few years ago. 2.
 * "Died" and came back?: Nope. 4.
 * Average: (4+3.5+1+4+3+2+2+4)/8=2.9375. Pretty dead.

Dr. Weir from Stargate Atlantis
 * Cause of Death: Redemption/heroic sacrifice (after being turned into a Replicator, she "destroyed" herself (and all her non-violent Replicator followers) because "Replicators are too dangerous to exist"), although since she stepped through a Stargate into space, technically her cause of death was Jumping. I give her a 3 anyway.
 * Genre: Stargate Atlantis has had many Anyone Can Die moments, especially with regard to Mauve Shirts and other supporting characters. Since they brought back Dr. Beckett, however, the status of main characters has changed from Anyone Can Die to Disney Death. I give her a 2.
 * Body Found?: Her body's drifting in space, but since she's a Replicator, other than boredom that might not be that much of a setback. Definitely Frozen. 2.
 * Reaction: A lot of extremely sad expressions from the entire cast. She's Dead Jim. 3.
 * Characterization: Was a main character with top billing, but as the civilian leader she wasn't part of the Five Man Band. I'd give her a 1.5.
 * When Did They Die?: Same Year. 2.
 * Died and Came Back?: First she was brought back as a clone, then in her final, final episode her original mind possessed the city's computer before downloading itself into a Replicator body. So she's done it twice. 2.
 * Average = 2.21. It seems they could just dial the Stargate and pick her up if they ever need a friendly Replicator to run a mission for them. They could easily bring her back for a cameo in the final episode or even the DVD movie which is going to be the Grand Finale. Then again, they "killed" her off in the final season of the show, so it's entirely possible that was her send-off, and she'll stay dead (if that's true, her manner of demise is truly ridiculous).

The apparent death of Stargate Atlantis's semi-main antagonist,, about 3/4ths of the way through the final season of the show.
 * Cause Of Death: Thrown off the top floor of the Atlantis main tower. Of course, death by falling counts as Jumping if we don't see the impact. 1.
 * Genre: Supposedly Anyone Can Die, as they're been pretty free about bumping off Mauve Shirts on a regular basis, although with both Beckett and Weir back from the dead, the show's now 100% Disney Death when it comes to main characters. I'll split the difference and give it a 3.
 * Body Found?: Apparently not, as it's not mentioned at the end of the episode. They Never Found the Body. 3.
 * Reaction: Not much, actually. The characters briefly discuss the galaxy being a safer place now that he's dead, but that's pretty much it. He's Dead Jim. 3.
 * Characterization: Was pretty much the closest thing the series had to a Big Bad, due to the lack of a central Wraith villain. If the Wraith = the Daleks,then  = the Master. I'll put him down as an Archvillain. 1.
 * When Did They Die?: A couple episodes ago, so Same Arc. 1.
 * Died and Came Back?: On two occasions, the Atlantis team thought he was on a ship or planet they had just blown up. In both cases, they were wrong. Of course, both times the writers obviously left the door open for him to have escaped, something that's missing from his 1000-foot drop off a tall building. Still, back from the dead twice is back from the dead twice. 2.
 * Average = 2. Maybe they'll bring him back in one of the DVD movies. With his Wraith Healing Factor, there's a Million to One Chance he might have survived. And he might have had the foresight to clone himself, too, seeing as how he did it to Dr. Beckett.

Ford in Stargate Atlantis.
 * Cause of death: No One Could Survive That. It's acknowledged that such situations aren't final. 2
 * Genre: Killed Off for Real happens to many side-characters, or at least it did in SG-1. 3. However, characters such as Ford's season two status always die and always stay that way. So, should be 4, but let's go by the book. 3
 * Body: No. 3
 * Reaction: Doesn't quite fit any of the choices.
 * Characterization: Ex-regular. 2.5
 * When: Last seen mid-season two. Season four just ended. 2.5
 * Died and returned: Last seen in situations that looked bad before, but never quite this bad. 4
 * 2+3+3+2.5+2.5+4= 17/6. Final death value: 2.833. Ford's chances of returning eventually aren't so bad. However, the writers seem to have forgotten him, which may prove more final than any pesky exploding ship.

's recent "permanent" death in The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
 * Cause of Death: All the main characters get together and unload boxloads of bullets into him, and Cameron finally finishes him off with multiple armor-piercing shotgun blasts to the face (which is powerful enough to rip open part of his metal "skull" and expose the machinery inside). No One Could Survive That (Except Ahnuld already did in T2). Sarah also smashes his "chip", which (being essentially his brain) is about as permenant a death as you can get. 2.
 * Genre: A pretty Darker and Edgier show, with lots of side characters being killed left and right (quite a lot of it done by the main characters). However, none of the main cast/Five Man Band have died (except for  himself), so thus far it's been Killed Off for Real. 3.
 * Body Found?: Buried in the desert by the main characters. Sarah says she'll come back later with something to destroy it completely, but we never see her actually do so. 4.
 * Reaction: Everyone at the burial has an air of finality (and relief!). He's Dead Jim. 3.
 * Characterization: Was apparently the main antagonist for most of the show's running (and even made the main cast title credits in Season 2), but now halfway through Season 2 they seem to have introduced an actual Big Bad in the form of Corrupt Corporate Executive Catherine Weaver/the T-1001. So, I'd split the difference and give him a 1.5.
 * When Did They Die?: A couple episodes ago, so same arc. 1.
 * Died and Came Back?: Was decapitated by a particle beam rifle and considered destroyed, but pulled himself back together and came back for more. So, he's done it once. 3.
 * Average = 2.5. I supposed there's an outside chance Cameron switched the chips around, and kept Cromartie's chip for herself while giving Sarah the chip she saved from several episodes back.
 * Well, apparently Cromartie himself is dead after all, but his body is currently being used by Zeira Corp as a mouthpiece for SKYNET.

Sha're, Stargate SG-1
 * Cause of Death: Was under control of a goa'uld and attacking Daniel, forcing Teal'c to kill her. I'll make it Redemption Equals Death - 3.
 * Genre: Mostly Killed Off for Real. There explicitly exists a means of bringing someone back from the dead (sarcophagus), but the Good Guys avoid using it. Make it 2.5.
 * Body: Dead and Buried. 4.
 * Reaction: The makers even go to tease the audience by showing a means of her possible resurrection - and shatter it as Daniel's dream/hallucination. She's Dead Jim, and I am being generous. 3.
 * Characterisation: Loved one. 4.
 * When: Many, many seasons ago. 3.
 * Came back: Not really. 4.
 * Result: 3.357 - she's not going to return. (Though, the authors have opened the door to an Alternate Universe Fic - what if the dream were reality and vice vera?)

Dark Specter, Power Rangers.
 * Cause of death: Two planet-destroying missiles to the face. No One Could Survive That. 2.
 * Genre: Disney Death, 2
 * Body: Vanished. Never found. 3
 * Reaction: He's Dead Jim. 3.
 * Characterization: Archvillain to end all archvillains. 1
 * When?: A good while ago. 3
 * Died before?: Nope. 4.
 * Average: 2.57. Deader than expected, but could very well still be out there.

Marian, Robin Hood
 * Cause of Death: Heroic Sacrifice. 3.
 * Genre: Killed Off for Real. 3'
 * Body Found: Deader Than Dead. 3.
 * Reaction: Montage. 4
 * Characterization: Protagonist. 1
 * When did she die? Same Arc or Same Year. 1 or 2
 * Died and come back? Not yet. 4.
 * 2.67 or 2.83 depending on the "When did she die" score. Reasonable chance of a return.

Supernatural:
 * Cause: Delayed Heroic Sacrifice -- 3
 * Genre: Anyone Can Die -- this is the death that proves it -- but characters have come Back From the Dead in the past. I'll call it Killed Off for Real. 3
 * Body found: Yup. 4
 * Reaction:  3
 * Characterization: Protagonist. 1
 * When did he die: Just recently. 1
 * Died and come back: Only if you count, and he didn't quite die then. 4
 * Total: 19/7 = 2.71. See ya next season.
 * Season 4:

Also Supernatural:
 * Cause: Karmic Death. 4
 * Genre: Killed Off for Real. See above. 3
 * Body found: No, offscreen death. 3
 * Reaction: Not shown. 3
 * Characterization: Recurring villain. 2
 * When did she die: Just recently. 1
 * Died and come back: No. 4
 * Total: 20/7 = 2.86. Hopeful, except Word of God says she's not coming back.]]
 * Total: 20/7 = 2.86. Hopeful, except Word of God says she's not coming back.]]

Supernatural: 11/7=~1.6. He's so coming back.
 * Cause: No one could survive that!  2
 * Audience Expectation: Death Is Cheap. 1
 * Body Found?: Left for dead. 1
 * Reaction: Its Personal. 2
 * Last Words: Fly, you fools! 2
 * Characterization: Regular. 2
 * When did they die? Current arc. 1
 * "Died" and come back?: Twice. 2

White Collar:
 * Cause: Bridge drop, 4
 * Genre: Killed Off For Real, 3
 * Body Found: Never found, 2
 * Reaction: It's Personal, 2
 * Last Words: N/A
 * Characterization:, 4
 * When did they die: Same year, 2
 * Died and come back: Not yet, 4
 * Total: 21/7 = 3 even. Pretty dead, but you never know.

"Sons of Anarchy":
 * Cause: The actor wanted to leave the show, and his death was VERY sudden. Dropped a Bridge on him. 4
 * Genre: After a string of Killed Off for Real deaths spanning two seasons, it was already almost an Anyone Can Die show. This definitively made it so. 4
 * Body Found: Dead and Buried, with a very moving funeral, albeit next season. 4
 * Reaction: When killed, his killer says a Bond One-Liner that actually works two ways . 4
 * Last Words: None, very realistically, considering he was stabbed in the lung. No score.
 * Characterization: Regular. 2
 * When did he die?: Last year. 2
 * Died and Come Back: Nobody does that on So A, least of all a plucky comic-relief character. 4
 * Total: 24/7= 3.43. He's not coming back unless there's a huge paradigm shift in the writing.

Burn Notice:

Brennan
 * Cause of Death: Larry stabbed the guy, so I'll say bridge drop: 4
 * Genre: Killed Off For Real: 3
 * Body Found: Pretty much at the morgue: 3
 * Last words: Oh crap: 4
 * Reaction: Oh crap: let's call it a 3
 * Characterization: Regular: 3
 * When did thye die: Same year: 2
 * Died and come back: No: 4
 * Score: 3.25 Yeah, I doubt he's coming back.

Larry 15 with 7 boxes is 2.1: Soon. The fact that the newspaper at the end says 2 people died strongly implies Larry is alive.
 * Cause of death: No one could survive that: 2
 * Type of show: Killed off for real: 3
 * Body found: Left for dead: 1
 * Reaction: Tricky to figure out
 * Last words: Oh Crap expression: 4
 * Character: Regular: 2
 * When: Same arc: 1
 * Came back alreddy: Let's count the prison as a "death" due to the fact that the first fake was so much of his character and say 2

Skins


 * Cause of Death: The closest would be Mortal Wound Reveal - they revealed the episode right before that he had the same brain disease that killed his brother - so: 3
 * Audience Expectation: Not quite Anyone Can Die, but definitely Killed Off for Real: 3
 * Body Found: Dead with a Meaningful Funeral: 4
 * Reaction: A He's Dead Jim from Cassie: 3
 * Last Words: Obi Wan Moment : 3
 * Characterization: Regular: 2
 * Time: Several seasons ago, but the episode before the generation finale, which is basically a Series Finale for that cast of characters: 4
 * Died and Come Back: No: 4
 * 26/8 = 3.25 - Not happening.


 * Cause of Death: Dropped a Bridge On Him: 4
 * Audience Expectation: See above: 3
 * Body Found: They didn't find the body, but we saw the blood splatter as he was beaten and Cook found his bloodied shirt in the finale, which was treated like Chunky Salsa Rule - averaging to: 3
 * Reaction: Its Personal from Cook: 2
 * Last Words: He had none specifically, but his reaction would be closest to the ones under: 4
 * Characterization: Regular, but one of the main ones in the cast: 1.5
 * Time of Death: Episode before generation finale, which as above counts as a: 4
 * Died and Come Back: No: 4
 * 25.5/8 = 3.19 - Slightly more likely than, but still probably not happening.

We know what the result was, but oh, what the hell...let's put  circa the S1 finale through it: -
 * Cause: Getting him hit by a bus was basically a Bridge Drop, but there was also a redemptive quality to it: 3.5
 * Audience Expectation: At this point, no one had any idea what to expect, so: 2.5
 * Body: He was taken the hospital: 2.5
 * Reaction: Closest would be Faux Death: 1
 * Words: Mid-sentence: 4
 * Characterization: Protagonist: 1
 * Time: It was in the middle of an arc when he got hit: 1
 * Came Back: At this point, not yet: 4
 * 18.5/8 = 2.31 - It could have gone either way, really. As it turned out,.

Firefly

30/8 = 3.75 - Seriously, he managed to score higher than either of the Skins characters and they're in a realistic fiction show. Sorry, fans, he's not coming back.
 * Cause of Death: Dropped a Bridge On Him: 4
 * Audience Expectation: This is a Joss Whedon show, so Anyone Can Die: 4
 * Body: Dead and Buried: 4
 * Reaction: Closest would be a Really Dead Montage: 4
 * Last Words: Killed Mid Sentence: 4
 * Characterization: Regular: 2
 * Time: Serenity was basically the Series Finale: 4
 * Died and Come Back: Not yet: 4

25.5/8 = 3.19 - Nope.
 * Cause of Death: 3
 * Audience Expectation: See above: 3.5
 * Body: Dead and Buried/Only Bits And Pieces (since he was used as part of the Reaver camouflage): 4
 * Reaction: Its Personal: 2
 * Last Words: Famous Last Words: 3
 * Characterization: Regular: 2
 * Time: Also in Serenity, so same as above: 4
 * Died and Come Back: Not yet: 4

- "Being Human"


 * Cause of Death: Heroic Sacrifice, 3
 * Audience Expectation: Anyone Can Die, 4
 * Body Found: Deader Than Dead, 4
 * I don't think it was on the list
 * Last Words: Putting it under Final Speech: 3
 * Characterization:
 * When Did They Die: Season Finale isn't on the list so I'll put 2.5
 * Died And Come Back?: Nope, not really, 4
 * Final score:
