[QUOTE="Demmero, post: 3480928, member: 13641"] No, I did not say that--I merely threw the idea out there as a "what if" possibility. But your "easier" explanation that Mikhael faked his own death isn't easy by a long shot. Tell me, how did Mikhael manage to fake frothing at the mouth and bleeding from his ear if he had his hands tied behind his back? Kinda hard to slip some sort of capsule in your mouth or maybe slide a razor across your scalp with your hands tied behind your back. I'm guessing that you meant that Mikhael knew there'd be a reaction when he passed through the electronic barrier and that it'd hurt but he'd ultimately survive. But even this explanation is far from simple. When he got zapped, Mikhael was thrown a decent ways into the barracks side of the fence. What was to keep Sayid or one of the others from examining him to make sure he was dead? Who's to say that they didn't examine him, and we just weren't shown that on the show? I guess what I'm saying is that a fence that zaps people to the point that they look dead but that also depends upon other people not examining the zapped victim is complicated--not simple--and doesn't seem like such a great security system IMO.
