Go To

1To use the Sorting Algorithm of Mortality, simply add the '''Scream Score''' for each applicable row, then divide by the number of applicable rows (at this point, [[ThirteenIsUnlucky 13]] or fewer). Remember: this is a relative score, so you need at least 3 characters from the same movie or series to establish a baseline. The original article is [[SortingAlgorithmOfMortality here]]. For characters who have already snuffed it, see SortingAlgorithmOfDeadness.

111* '''''Kaylee Frye:'''''
112# '''Row 1''': Age: Very late teens or early adults. She acts young, so we go for the lower. '''2.'''

124

126# '''Row 1''': Age: "Single" adult. '''3'''

132# '''Row 7''': Personality: HookerWithAHeartOfGold. '''2''' then.

135** '''Row 10''': Species: Human. '''3'''.
136** '''Row 11''': Occupation: Companion, for which read prostitute. '''4'''.

140# '''Row 1''': Age: Married adult, but not a parent. '''3.5'''
141# '''Row 2''': Sexual Orientation: Straight. '''3'''
142# '''Row 3''': Love Interests by Genre: Hard to call. Zoe is an Action Girl, so we'll call it a '''4'''.
143# '''Row 4''': Role: More Plucky Comic Relief than anything else. '''4'''
144# '''Row 5''': Race: Caucasian '''1'''.
145# '''Row 6''': Aesthetics: Average (your mileage may vary). '''3'''
146# '''Row 7''': Personality: Usually comes off as an Innocent. '''5'''
147** '''Row 8''': Flaws: Definitely a Smartass. '''4'''
148** '''Row 9''': Virtues: Smart and Curious, kind of Genre Dumb. We'll call it a '''4'''.
149** '''Row 10''': Species: Human. '''3'''.
150** '''Row 11''': Occupation: While technically a pilot, he's really the Happy Family Man. And to make things even worse, he's the Happy Family Man in a verse whose creator HATES HAPPINESS. '''5'''.
151*** '''Total divided by rows''': 39.5/11= '''3.59'''. We now know the standard for "doomed".
152
153* '''''Zoe:'''''
154# '''Row 1''': Age: Not so much older, but certainly wiser. '''5'''
155# '''Row 2''': Sexual Orientation: Straight. '''3'''
156# '''Row 3''': Love Interests by Genre: She's effectively single now. No score.
157# '''Row 4''': Role: The Lancer. '''2'''
158# '''Row 5''': Race: Black '''5'''.
159# '''Row 6''': Aesthetics: A little to stern to be the Cutie. We'll call her a '''2'''.
160# '''Row 7''': Personality: None of the descriptions fit. We'll skip this one for now.
161** '''Row 8''': Flaws: Nothing standing out in this category, either.
162** '''Row 9''': Virtues: Action Girl. '''2'''.
163** '''Row 10''': Species: Human. '''3'''.
164** '''Row 11''': Occupation: Served under a military commander; possibly a competent secondary. Make it '''4'''.
165*** '''Total divided by rows''': 26/8= '''3.25'''. If the show were to continue, her days might be numbered.
166* '''''Mal'''''
167# '''Row 1''': Age: A single guy, so 3.
168# '''Row 2''': Sexual Orientation: almost definitely straight, possibly bisexual. 3.
169# '''Row 3''': Love Interests by Genre: He is single. No score.
170# '''Row 4''': Role: the Protagonist so a definite 1.
171# '''Row 5''': Race: Caucasian. 1.
172# '''Row 6''': Aesthetics: YMMV but probably average or fashionably scarred- a 2.5.
173# '''Row 7''': Personality: TheCaptain if there ever was one. 2.
174** '''Row 8''': Flaws: Hm.... not really any, but he can be a smartass- but only a little. I'll put him at a 3.5, and include results without the score as well.
175** '''Row 9''': Virtues: Smart, so a 3.
176** '''Row 10''': Species: Human, but in a show that has nothing but humans its kinda strange to count it, but a 3 averages out. so 3.
177** '''Row 11''': Occupation: I'd say some where between military commander and adventurer, so another 3.
178So, including Flaws, Mal has a 2.5 exactly. Without flaws, its 2.3888888... which means that even Creator/JossWhedon would have a hard time killing this guy!
179
180* '''''River'''''
181** '''Age''': A seventeen-year-old teen, so 2.
182** '''Sexual orientation:''': Unknown. Skipping.
183** '''Love Interests by Genre''' None, so skipping.
184** '''Role''': IgnoredExpert fits her pretty well - 2.
185** '''Race''': Caucasian - 1.
186** '''Aesthethics''': TheCutie, definitely - 1.
187** '''Personality''': Tough one. Let's put down a 3 as a Crazy with a Heart of Gold.
188** '''Flaws''': Schizophrenia seems somewhere between "Mentally Handicapped" and "Crippling phobia", so 1.5.
189** '''Virtues''': Switches between Action Girl, Supergenius Girl and Emotionless girl. I'll go with the average of 3.
190** '''Species''': Human - 3.
191** '''Occupation''': Her abilities make her the closest thing the show has to a Superhero, so I'll give her a 1.
192*** Final score: 1.94. Not getting killed any time soon. She's even safer when you consider that the central plot revolves around her being alive.
193
194* '''''Simon'''''
195** '''Age''': Adult, so 3.
196** '''Sexual Orientation''': Straight - 3.
197** '''Love Interests by Genre''': It's an Action Series and Kaylee is often a Damsel In Distress - 1.
198** '''Role''': Something of a loner - 4.
199** '''Aesthetics''': Considering his gratuitous shirtless scene, Kaylee's immediate attraction and Jayne's remark about "yapping that pretty mouth" at him, I'll go ahead and pick the Cutie - 1.
200** '''Personality''': Somewhere between a handsome Nerd and a Ditz - 3.5.
201** '''Flaws''': Smartass, definitely Butt Monkey, what with often he gets punched - 4.
202** '''Virtues''': TheSmartGuy, so 3.
203** '''Species''': Human - 3.
204** '''Occupation''': Somewhat of a NonActionGuy, so I'll go with Innocent Bystander and thus 3.
205*** Final score: 2.85 - potentially at risk, especially because of the dramatic potential of his death's effect on River ''and'' Kaylee. However, it would mean introducing a new Medic to the show...

438[[AC: Series/StargateAtlantis]]
439
440* '''''Character A: Dr. Beckett'''''
441
442** '''Row 1''': Age: Early 40s (apparent) at most. 3
443** '''Row 2''': Sexual Orientation: You can't count [[SharingABody Rodney]]. 3.
444** '''Row 4''': Role: A major character, but not part of Atlantis-1. 3
445** '''Row 5''': Race: Very white. 1.
446** '''Row 6''': Aesthetics: Well, he attracted the hot soldier, but let's put it at 3.
447** '''Row 7''': Personality: He's kind of a nerd, but as a doctor who even treats the enemy...split the difference. 2.
448** '''Row 8''': Flaws: Serious technophobe. 2.
449** '''Row 9''': Virtues: The smart, quiet guy 3.5.
450** '''Row 10''': Species: He's a clone. Lousy WordOfGod-breaking...4.
451** '''Row 11''': Occupation: Takes a hit for being on a military mission (4) and possibly carrying the karma for "Michael". 3.5.
452*** '''Total divided by rows''': 27/11 = 2.45. Nearly dead center, but closer to 2 than 3. He may spend next season on ice, but might see daylight again, maybe even to help beat Michael, making him TheAtoner.
453
454* '''''Character B: Administrator Richard Woolsey'''''
455
456** '''Row 1''': Age: Middle-aged, single, and definitely not that wise. Single Adult = '''3'''.
457** '''Row 2''': Sexual Orientation: Has apparently never come up. At all. I'm putting him down as married to his work. '''1'''.
458** '''Row 4''': Role: Started as a single-episode ObstructiveBureaucrat, then became a regular supporting character, and is now a member of the main cast. So, somewhere between MauveShirt and Series Regular. '''3.5'''.
459** '''Row 5''': Race: The Whitest Man Alive. '''1'''.
460** '''Row 6''': Aesthetics: Has never been mentioned on the show, see Row 2. I'm putting him down as genuinely average, rather than HollywoodHomely. '''3.5'''.
461** '''Row 7''': Personality: An ObstructiveBureaucrat, but the writers seem to be slowly growing him a spine, especially now he's joined the main cast. He also was always portrayed with good intentions (despite always trying to shut the Heroes down), so I guess he'd also quality as the JerkWithAHeartOfGold. I'll split the difference and give him '''3.5'''.
462** '''Row 8''': Flaws: [[AgentScully Skeptical]] ''and'' GenreBlind (in a show where most characters are GenreSavvy). '''5'''.
463** '''Row 9''': Virtues: [[DeathByPragmatism Pragmatic]]. Oh so very much. '''5'''.
464** '''Row 10''': Species: Human. 3.
465** '''Row 11''': Occupation: A civilian administrator rather than a [[GeneralRipper Military Commander]], but similar career role. '''4'''.
466** Average = 32.5 / 10 = 3.25. Things aren't looking too good for Mr. Woolsey's long-term career prospects. I mean, honestly, Atlantis goes through administrators like Hogwarts goes through Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers. And that's not even bringing into consideration the fact that ''he just recently killed his established, more popular predecessor!''.
467
468* '''''Character C: Dr. Jennifer Keller'''''
469
470** '''Row 1''': Age: Single Adult. '''3'''.
471** '''Row 2''': Sexual Orientation: Has had chemistry scenes with both Ronan and Rodney, so quite straight. '''3'''.
472** '''Row 4''': Role: Recent promotion from MauveShirt to series regular. I'll give her a '''3.5'''.
473** '''Row 5''': Race: Caucasian. '''1'''.
474** '''Row 6''': Aesthetics: Keller's more mature than Kaylee, but still has her share of {{Moe}} behavior. Still TheCutie. '''1'''.
475** '''Row 7''': Personality: Like her predecessor Dr. Beckett, she seems to fall under the "desire to heal everyone, even crazy cavemen trying to kill me" school of medicine (and she ends up trying to make peace with said crazy cavemen by the end of the episode), so FriendToAllLivingThings. '''1'''.
476** '''Row 8''': Flaws: Crippling fear of heights. Or was it bridges? In either case, '''2'''.
477** '''Row 9''': Virtues: Smart. Stargate Doctors tend to have attributes of the OmnidisciplinaryScientist, and she's no exception. '''3'''.
478** '''Row 10''': Species: Human. Despite looking exactly like a certain young female Wraith from several episodes back... '''3'''.
479** '''Row 11''': Occupation: Well, when you think about it, Keller is the cast's [[VasquezAlwaysDies Competent Secondary Female]]. Sure, Teyla's the ActionGirl, but she's also The Heroine and has cast seniority. So, the non-action girl is Vasquez for once. Anyway, give Keller a '''5'''.
480** '''Average''' = 25.5 / 10 = 2.55. Unless she goes the Ford route and has a complete flip-out, or they decide to blow her up like Dr. Beckett to show that AnyoneCanDie, she seems pretty safe at this point.

485
486* '''''Character A: Dean'''''
487
488** '''Row 1''': Age: Twenties. 3
489** '''Row 2''': Sexual orientation: Straight, and not at all reluctant. 3
490** '''Row 3''': Love interests: Temporary. 4
491** '''Row 4''': Role: Hero. 1
492** '''Row 5''': Race: Caucasian. 1
493** '''Row 6''': Aesthetics: Pretty darn hot. 1
494** '''Row 7''': Personality: Of the above, I'd have to say JerkWithAHeartOfGold. 3
495** '''Row 8''': Species: Human. 3
496** '''Row 9''': Occupation: WeHelpTheHelpless. I'd call that a 2.
497*** '''Total divided by rows''': 21/9 = 2.33. DealWithTheDevil or no deal, he's got ContractualImmortality. This being Series/{{Supernatural}}, it doesn't mean that he won't die, just that he won't stay dead.
498
499* '''''Character A: Sam'''''
500
501** '''Row 1''': Age: Twenties. 3
502** '''Row 2''': Sexual orientation: Straight, but a little more reluctant than Dean. 3
503** '''Row 3''': Love interests: Temporary. 4
504** '''Row 4''': Role: Hero. 1
505** '''Row 5''': Race: Caucasian. 1
506** '''Row 6''': Aesthetics: Definitely TheCutie 1
507** '''Row 7''': Personality: Halfway between Nerd and JerkWithAHeartOfGold, depending on the writer. (3)
508** '''Row 8''': Flaws: Considering he's [[spoiler: addicted to demon blood to fuel his PsychicPowers]], I'd call this one Fell Astray. 4
509** '''Row 9''': Virtues: TheSmartGuy. 3
510** '''Row 10''': Species: Human. 3
511** '''Row 11''': Occupation: WeHelpTheHelpless, like his brother. 2.
512*** '''Total divided by rows''': 28/4 = 2.54. He's more likely to bite it than his brother, but again, this being ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'', he isn't likely to stay dead.

517
518* '''''Character A: Ianto Jones'''''
519** '''Row 1: Age''': Adult. 3.
520** '''Row 2: Sexual Orientation''': Bisexual. 5.
521** '''Row 3: Love Interests By Genre''': Action Series. 1.
522** '''Row 4: Role''': Somewhat PluckyComicRelief. 3.5
523** '''Row 5: Race''': Caucasian. 1.
524** '''Row 6: Aesthetics''': Quite attractive, and probably the closest to TheCutie as the show comes. 1.
525** '''Row 7: Personality''': Hard to place, but probably closest to a 3.
526** '''Row 8: Flaws''': A bit of a smartass. 4
527** '''Row 9: Virtues''': Smart, as well as quiet. Split the difference to a 3.5.
528** '''Row 10: Species''': Human. 3
529** '''Row 11: Occupation''': Hmmm... Well... they're a secret organisation... I'm probably going to have to go with 2.5.
530*** '''Total divided by rows:''' 30.5/11 = 2.77. He has a shockingly average lifespan. I'd say that means he's probably safe for at least a couple more seasons, at least. [[spoiler: July 2009, well that clearly didn't work]]
531
532
533* '''''Character B: Gwen Cooper'''''
534** '''Row 1: Age''': Married, but has no kids. 3.5
535** '''Row 2: Sexual Orientation''': Basically straight. 3.
536** '''Row 3: Love Interests By Genre''': Action Series. 1.
537** '''Row 4: Role''': Lead Female. 1.
538** '''Row 5: Race''': Caucasian. 1.
539** '''Row 6: Aesthetics''': Pretty, but not amazingly so. 1.5
540** '''Row 7: Personality''': Can sometimes be TheDitz. 3.5
541** '''Row 8: Flaws''': Varies. Has been known to do some pretty crazy things (but, among this cast, who hasn't?) 3.5
542** '''Row 9: Virtues''': ActionGirl. 2.
543** '''Row 10: Species''': Human. 3
544** '''Row 11: Occupation''': Again, secret organisation. 2.5
545*** '''Total divided by rows:''' 22/11 = 2. I doubt Gwen's going anywhere anytime soon.
546
547
548* '''''Character C: Jack Harkness'''''
549** '''Row 1: Age''': Adult, but also technically older, so split the difference at 4.
550** '''Row 2: Sexual Orientation''': Bisexual. And a slut. Ouch. 5.
551** '''Row 3: Love Interests By Genre''': Action Series. 1.
552** '''Row 4: Role''': He's the hero. 1.
553** '''Row 5: Race''': Caucasian. 1.
554** '''Row 6: Aesthetics''': Super hot, but not really "cute". 1.5
555** '''Row 7: Personality''': Obviously TheCaptain! 2
556** '''Row 8: Flaws''': Stupidity seems to be a necessity to work at Torchwood, so probably a 3.5.
557** '''Row 9: Virtues''': Fairly GenreSavvy. 3.
558** '''Row 10: Species''': Human. 3
559** '''Row 11: Occupation''': Best fits at. 2.5.
560*** '''Total divided by rows:''' 27.5/11 = 2.5. Jack scored higher than Gwen, but we all sort of know that's a bit of a moot point. Unless something really crazy happens, he probably won't get killed for real any time soon.
