| 23 | Currently, [[spoiler:The real Caulder]] from ''VideoGame/AdvanceWars: Days of Ruin'' and [[spoiler:Teri Bauer]] from ''Series/TwentyFour'' are the only characters to have scored 4, the highest possible. And are notable for having 4 in ''every'' category. At one point, [[spoiler:Shirley]] from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' and also scored 4, thanks in part to a special [=CLAMP=] bonus that became harder to defend as the series went on. [[spoiler:Chloe Sullivan]] from ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' is currently the only character to have scored a perfect 1, in the episode ''Fracture'', with the rest of the cast not even taking her death seriously, fully expecting her return. |

| 25 | ---- |
| 26 | |
| 27 | '''Baseline Example: The death of Franchise/{{Superman}}.''' |
| 28 | * Cause: HeroicSacrifice, so he's not coming back from that too quickly, or the sacrifice will be cheapened. 3. |
| 29 | * Genre: It's a comic book, so DeathIsCheap. 1. |
| 30 | * The Body: DeaderThanDead, a PietaPlagiarism too for supes sake! So no chance of FakingTheDead. 4. |
| 31 | * Reaction: ReallyDeadMontage, uh-oh. 4. |
| 32 | * Characterization: Protagonist. 1. |
| 33 | * When did he die: Same year, so 2. |
| 34 | * Come Back?: This was a first, so 4. |
| 35 | * 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. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | ---- |
| 38 | |
| 39 | '''Now let's make a prediction with the recent death of Franchise/{{Batman}} in ComicBook/FinalCrisis.''' |
| 40 | * Cause: HeroicSacrifice, give or take. 3. |
| 41 | * Genre: Comic book, so DeathIsCheap. 1. |
| 42 | * The Body: [[DeaderThanDead Dead and buried]], but it's a little more complicated. Still, it's a 4. |
| 43 | * Reaction: [[HesDeadJim He's Dead Clark]], plus "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?" probably counts as a ReallyDeadMontage. 3.5. |
| 44 | * Last Words: "Try Me." 3. |
| 45 | * Characterization: It's [[MemeticMutation The Goddamn Batman]], people. 1. |
| 46 | * When did he die: Same year, so 2. |
| 47 | * Come Back?: This would be the first time, so 4. |
| 48 | * 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. |

| 57 | |
| 58 | Tony Almeida. |
| 59 | * Cause: Killed by the guy who killed his wife... I'd say that counts as a [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Bridge Drop]], he really wasn't sacrificing himself for anything. 4. |
| 60 | * Genre: DEFINITELY AnyoneCanDie, not a good start for Tony. 4. |
| 61 | * Body: Hell yes, he was in a bodybag, he's DeaderThanDead. 4. |
| 62 | * Reaction: No ReallyDeadMontage (though in ''Series/TwentyFour'', only Teri got one of these), no silent clock. I'll count it as HesDeadJim. 3. (For what it's worth, there was a bit of a "Really Dead Montage" for him. But still, no silent clock ...) |
| 63 | * Characterization: A [[CListFodder Regular]]. 2. |
| 64 | * When did he die?: In ''Series/TwentyFour'''s timeline, just under five years before, which puts him in line for the maximum. 4. |
| 65 | * 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 ''Series/TwentyFour'' fans are so pissed that they're bringing him back for season seven. |
| 66 | |
| 67 | However, as for Jack Bauer's father Phillip... |
| 68 | * Cause: Died in a fiery explosion with planes bombing the very oil rig he was at. Very flashy, very spectacular... NoOneCouldSurviveThat. 2. |
| 69 | * Genre: AnyoneCanDie Anyone Can Die]], same as Tony. 4. |
| 70 | * Body: Well, they NeverFoundTheBody... 3. |
| 71 | * Reaction: Wasn't really a reaction, since he was a bad guy... N/A. |
| 72 | * Characterization: BigBad of season six. 1. |
| 73 | * When did he die?: Right now, the same year in the 24 timeline... 2. |
| 74 | * 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... |
| 75 | |
| 76 | We'll go ahead and do Jack Bauer (end of season seven) too. |
| 77 | * Cause: HeroicSacrifice, he contracted a deadly disease to stop the deployment of a bioweapon. 3. |
| 78 | * Genre: DEFINITELY AnyoneCanDie. 4. |
| 79 | * Body: Ended the season comatose. I'll count that as Frozen. 2. |
| 80 | * Reaction: "I'm not ready to let you go." Indication that his daughter will do anything to save him... quite hopeful... 1. |
| 81 | * Last Words: A series of [[FinalSpeech final speeches]] given to both Renee Walker and an imam. 3. |
| 82 | * Characterization: Protagonist. 1. |
| 83 | * When did he die?: Same arc. 1. |
| 84 | * Died and came back?: Twice, technically. 2. |
| 85 | * 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. |
| 86 | |
| 87 | And finally, Teri Bauer. |
| 88 | * Cause: Killed by her husband's coworker/ex-lover. [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Bridge Drop]] 4. |
| 89 | * Genre: AnyoneCanDie. Definately. 4. |
| 90 | * Body: DeaderThanDead. 4. |
| 91 | * Reaction: A ReallyDeadMontage - the only one in the series to date. 4. |
| 92 | * Last Words: Closest to OhCrap or KilledMidSentence. 4. |
| 93 | * Characterization: Loved one. 4. |
| 94 | * When did he die?: Series finale, 13 years ago show time. 4. |
| 95 | * Average: 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 28/7 = a perfect 4. |

| 101 | 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 BackFromTheDead? Let's see if the algorithm can tell us. |
| 102 | * Cause of Death: Redemption/suicide, so 3. |
| 103 | * This show has previously been at pains to establish that AnyoneCanDie: 4. |
| 104 | * Body: Never Found, and the search was called off, on the always suspicious grounds that NoOneCouldSurviveThat. Looking more hopeful. 3. |
| 105 | * Reaction: No ReallyDeadMontage, but plenty of grief-y scenes intended to hammer home her properly-deadness. [[HesDeadJim She's dead, Apollo.]] 3. |
| 106 | * Characterization: Some fans characterize Starbuck as TheHero (with a low chance of permanent death) while others see her as the fracked-up TheLancer to Apollo's more straight-arrow [[TheHero Hero]] (which would make her much more expendable). |
| 107 | ** But: we've been frequently told she's TheChosenOne, and tellingly, we still haven't seen what this might entail. So lets give her a 1. |
| 108 | * Died and come back?: Not unless you count her surviving a crash landing in season 1, so 4. |
| 109 | * Final, non-algorithm bit of evidence? She's an asbestos-coated PluckyGirl. |
| 110 | * '''Average:''' (19/7 = 2.71) Conclusion? A fine effort at keeping us guessing, but still, very probably back in the flesh. |
| 111 | |
| 112 | [[spoiler: Starbuck is an uncertainty lich. She has been observed in the same shot, at the same time, as being both dead and alive. We just haven't observed which version 'is' Starbuck, as one must wonder if one can be in both states at once...]] |

| 135 | * Genre: Anyone Can Die. 4 |
| 136 | * Body Found: Dead & Buried. 4 |
| 137 | * Reaction: [[spoiler:All the other protagonists are shot after they are told he didn't betray them after all.]] So say a Montage-level thing. 4 |
| 138 | * Last Words: Kind of Killed Mid Sentence. 4 |
| 139 | * Characterization: Protagonist [[spoiler:for the first two seasons, recurring character in the last two. But since the show is named after him]]...1. |
| 140 | * When: Well the show ended. 4 |
| 141 | * Came back: Presumed dead once. Obviously got better. 3 |
| 142 | * Average: 28/8 = 3.5. Stick a fork in him, he's done. |
| 143 | |
| 144 | Next is the [[TheLancer Lancer]], Kerr Avon. |
| 145 | * [=CoD=]: [[spoiler:Surrounded by Federal troops.]] Therefore, Overkill. 4 |
| 146 | * Genre: Anyone Can Die. 4 |
| 147 | * Body Found: We don't see him dying, so for our purposes its Never Found. 3 |
| 148 | * Reaction: [[spoiler:BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM over the credits.]] Calling it for Montage. 4 |
| 149 | * Last Words: [[spoiler:Grinning like a madman in an Bolivian Army Ending.]] Hmm...Oh Crap works best. 4 |

| 156 | * [=CoD=]: Surrounded, Overkill. 4 |
| 157 | * Genre: Anyone Can Die. 4 |
| 158 | * Body Found: Either Dead & Buried or Left For Dead [[spoiler:(he fell differently than other members of the Seven when shot)]]. We will measure both. 4 or 1 |
| 159 | * Reaction: [[spoiler:Blake is dead, everyone else is being shot up.]] Montage-level again. 4 |
| 160 | * Last Words: Oh Crap-ish. 4 |
| 161 | * Characterization: Protagonist. 1. |
| 162 | * When: Final episode. 4 |
| 163 | * Came back: Never. 4 |
| 164 | * Average: 29/8 & 26/8 = 3.625 OR 3.25. Average of Average is 3.4375. Less dead than either [[spoiler:Blake or Avon]], still more than likely incorporeal. |
| 165 | |
| 166 | How about a few for fun, starting with Oleg Gan. |
| 167 | * Heroic Sacrifice to save the rest of the team. 3 |
| 168 | * Genre: Anyone Can Die. 4 |
| 169 | * Body Found: Dead & [[spoiler:very definitely]] Buried. 4 |
| 170 | * Reaction: He's Dead, Jim initially, [[spoiler:but the next episode was in part based on Blake trying to atone for his death]]. So, Montage-level. 4 |
| 171 | * Last Words: [[spoiler:Crushed by a door and then the ceiling while warning everyone away.]] Famous Last Words & "Run, you fools!" combo. Give it a 3. |
| 172 | * Characterization: Protagonist. 1. |

| 174 | * Came back: Never. 4 |

| 180 | * Body Found: The body is Never Found. 3 |

| 187 | |
| 188 | Finally, Jenna Stannis. |
| 189 | * [=CoD=]: Apparently killed while [[spoiler:blockade running]] off-screen [[spoiler:between the Season 2 and Series finales]]. Sounds like a Bridge Drop to me. 4 |

| 546 | * Reaction: He was a third tier character and has had only his sister angsting over his death with an "ItsPersonal". '''(2)'''. |
| 547 | * Characterization: RedShirt 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)'''. |

| 554 | * Body: Dead and buried. DeaderThanDead. 4. |
| 555 | * Reaction: We get a GoryDiscretionShot 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 HesDeadJim. 3. |
| 556 | * 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. |

| 566 | * When did he die: Same Arc '''(1)''' |

| 573 | * Genre: Normally Heroes borders on DeathIsCheap, but the recent Volume has been better about characters ''staying dead'', so KilledOffForReal. '''(3)''' |

| 584 | * Body Found: Yes, and shown on screen. 4. |

| 611 | * Genre: Anyone can die... except the main characters (with notable exceptions). So, it's about 3.5 |
| 612 | * 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 |
| 613 | * Reaction: No clue. |
| 614 | * Characterization: LovedOne (more or less), so 4 |

| 616 | * "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. |

| 635 | * Body found? Dead but not buried, 3,5. |
| 636 | * Characterization: One of the main protagonists, 1. |
| 637 | * When did he die? Same arc, 1. |
| 638 | * "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. |
| 639 | * 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. |
| 640 | |
| 641 | Just for fun, Nikki and Paulo. |
| 642 | * Cause Of Death: DeathByIrony. 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 |
| 643 | * Genre: As stated above, 3.5 |
| 644 | * Body found?: Paralyzed and buried. Paralyzation practically over when the rest starts burying them, so I count this as a left for dead. 1. |
| 645 | * 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. |
| 646 | * Last Words: Nikki gets the whole "Paolo Lies"/"Paralyzed" thingy. 3 |
| 647 | * Characterization: ''Technically'' regulars. 2 |
| 648 | * When did they die?: : A few years ago. 2. |
| 649 | * "Died" and came back?: Nope. 4. |
| 650 | * Average: (4+3.5+1+4+3+2+2+4)/8=2.9375. Pretty dead. |

| 1133 | [[folder:''Stargate'']] |
| 1134 | |
| 1135 | Dr. Weir from ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' |
| 1136 | * 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 [[SuicidalGotcha Jumping]]. I give her a '''3''' anyway. |
| 1137 | * Genre: ''Stargate Atlantis'' has had ''many'' AnyoneCanDie moments, especially with regard to {{Mauve Shirt}}s and other supporting characters. Since they brought back ''Dr. Beckett'', however, the status of main characters has changed from Anyone Can Die to DisneyDeath. I give her a '''2'''. |
| 1138 | * 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 [[HumanPopsicle Frozen]]. '''2'''. |
| 1139 | * Reaction: A lot of extremely sad expressions from the entire cast. [[HesDeadJim She's Dead Jim]]. '''3'''. |
| 1140 | * Characterization: Was a main character with top billing, but as the civilian leader she wasn't part of the FiveManBand. I'd give her a '''1.5'''. |
| 1141 | * When Did They Die?: Same Year. '''2'''. |
| 1142 | * 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'''. |
| 1143 | * '''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 GrandFinale. 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). |
| 1144 | |
| 1145 | The apparent death of ''Series/StargateAtlantis'''s semi-main antagonist, Michael, about 3/4ths of the way through the final season of the show. |
| 1146 | * Cause Of Death: Thrown off the top floor of the Atlantis main tower. Of course, death by falling counts as [[SuicidalGotcha Jumping]] if we don't see the impact. '''1'''. |
| 1147 | * Genre: Supposedly AnyoneCanDie, as they're been pretty free about bumping off [[MauveShirt Mauve Shirts]] on a regular basis, although with both Beckett and Weir back from the dead, the show's now 100% DisneyDeath when it comes to main characters. I'll split the difference and give it a '''3'''. |
| 1148 | * Body Found?: Apparently not, as it's not mentioned at the end of the episode. They NeverFoundTheBody. '''3'''. |
| 1149 | * 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. HesDeadJim. '''3'''. |
| 1150 | * Characterization: Was pretty much the closest thing the series had to a BigBad, due to the lack of a central Wraith villain. If the Wraith = [[Series/DoctorWho the Daleks]],then [[spoiler: Michael]] = the Master. I'll put him down as an Archvillain. '''1'''. |
| 1151 | * When Did They Die?: A couple episodes ago, so Same Arc. '''1'''. |
| 1152 | * 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'''. |
| 1153 | * Average = '''2'''. Maybe they'll bring him back in one of the DVD movies. With his Wraith HealingFactor, there's a MillionToOneChance he might have survived. And he might have had the foresight to clone himself, too, seeing as how he did it to Dr. Beckett. |
| 1154 | |
| 1155 | Ford in Series/StargateAtlantis. |
| 1156 | * Cause of death: NoOneCouldSurviveThat. It's acknowledged that such situations aren't final. '''2''' |
| 1157 | * Genre: KilledOffForReal 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''' |
| 1158 | * Body: No. '''3''' |
| 1159 | * Reaction: Doesn't quite fit any of the choices. |
| 1160 | * Characterization: Ex-regular. '''2.5''' |
| 1161 | * When: Last seen mid-season two. Season four just ended. '''2.5''' |
| 1162 | * Died and returned: Last seen in situations that looked bad before, but never quite this bad. '''4''' |
| 1163 | * 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. |
| 1164 | |
| 1165 | Sha're in ''Stargate SG-1'' |
| 1166 | * Cause of Death: Was under control of a goa'uld and attacking Daniel, forcing Teal'c to kill her. I'll make it RedemptionEqualsDeath - '''3'''. |
| 1167 | * Genre: Mostly KilledOffForReal. There explicitly exists a means of bringing someone back from the dead (sarcophagus), but the Good Guys avoid using it. Make it '''2.5'''. |
| 1168 | * Body: [[DeaderThanDead Dead]] and [[MeaningfulFuneral Buried]]. '''4'''. |
| 1169 | * 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. [[HesDeadJim She's Dead Jim]], and I am being generous. '''3'''. |
| 1170 | * Characterisation: Loved one. '''4'''. |
| 1171 | * When: Many, many seasons ago. '''3'''. |
| 1172 | * Came back: Not really. '''4'''. |
| 1173 | * Result: 3.357 - she's not going to return. (Though, the authors have opened the door to an AlternateUniverseFic - what if the dream were reality and vice vera?) |

| 1217 | Cromartie's recent "permanent" death. |
| 1218 | * 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). NoOneCouldSurviveThat (Except Ahnuld ''already'' did in ''[[Film/terminator2JudgmentDay T2]]''). Sarah also smashes his "chip", which (being essentially his brain) is about as permenant a death as you can get. '''2'''. |
| 1219 | * Genre: A pretty DarkerandEdgier 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[=/=]FiveManBand have died (except for [[spoiler: Cromartie]] himself), so thus far it's been KilledOffForReal. '''3'''. |
| 1220 | * 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'''. |
| 1221 | * Reaction: Everyone at the burial has an air of finality (and relief!). HesDeadJim. '''3'''. |
| 1222 | * 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 BigBad in the form of CorruptCorporateExecutive Catherine Weaver/the T-1001. So, I'd split the difference and give him a '''1.5'''. |
| 1223 | * When Did They Die?: A couple episodes ago, so same arc. '''1'''. |
| 1224 | * 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'''. |
