I wonder if being exclusively on Starz in the U.S. is limiting access. I've been finding it online since I don't get Starz, but I wish that it were more widely available.In any event, I need to debrief after last night's episode. It was in many ways an excellent forum for discussing this whole question of what does it mean to make this distinction between those who are "dead" and those who are "alive," and what do you do with all of those people who "ought" to be dead, but are still hanging around.Of course, the ending left me traumatized, killing off one of my favorite characters so far this season. But then again, the whole point is what does it mean to say that individual is "killed" in this context. If you're reduced to a pile of ashes, is there any sense in which you can still be said to be alive since every nerve ending and organ system is reduced to a pile of dust?This is in some sense a further development of a Season II idea when one of the characters found himself "dead" but still alive, and still suffering from all the problems of being a sentient being in a failing body.</blockquote>
