    I dunno, the fact even you and I were able to have past debates regarding, "Do they have to show us every body to accept that people are dead?" / "Shouldn't they avoid cutting away from the death of a major character?" regarding whether Gaius could still have value to the plot I think shows it doesn't render the investigative method useless in this case. at least.

    That said, I fully admit that half of my #GaiusLives talk was just because I found it amusing to get a passionate rebuttal of every mere suggestion that he was anything but concretely, conclusively, positively, absolutely, irrefutably, canonically dead every time I pointed out that it's not hard to write their way out of the truly established: they cut away mid-explosion - after he had survived several other explosions - while Nero was still in the building - and then Nero referred to his defeat, not his death, when we met again in Mor Dhona." (Granted, Nero might not even know, that's just one example.)

    Like my faith in the Twelve, sometimes it's just more fun to put Occam aside if it's that personally satisfying to dream - especially if you can rock the boat with it, lol.

    To quote The X-Files of all things:

    DT: Mister Mulder, why are those like yourself <...> not entirely persuaded by all the evidence to the contrary?

    FM: Because all the evidence to the contrary is not entirely persuasive.
    I'm with you on Fordola, though. My joke was always, "There aren't many options. She's either the living metaphor of the reconciliation for all Ala Mhigo's various points of view, Redemption = Death, or she's just going to rejoin Gaius when he gets back." At the very least, there should be interesting avenues to explore philosophically.
