I used LMDs as a comparison precisely because they're androids. I get the feeling Eve fits the characteristics of an android because she was all about the mission with no semblance of a personal life. Of course, the big difference is Eve had free will which is something that some specific LMDs have only begun to experience. You've heard of Age of Ultron but that's nothing compared to the Age of AIDA.
Back to Juliette, I know you believe she died for real but nothing was constructed from her corpse. She didn't die. And please don't use that pic of her lying on the floor again. The writers said she died because they didn't want to "spoil" her return. It doesn't mean that saying she died and returning as Eve was any less of a ridiculous copout.
Thanks for the reply. Of course, Agents of Shield. I watched that series until the Amazon Prime ran out. I had begun to disappoint with too much fantasy.
The picture of Juliette en the floor with the darts in her chest and blood coming from her mouth is classic movie imagery:

Quote:In movies, almost any type of wound seems to result in someone bleeding from their mouth (and they almost always die).I take G&K at their word, so until they recant or present a flashback of how the character in 4.22 was shot, survived (they lied?) and became the character in 5.07 I will believe that she "indeed died."

If you watch the scenes of Juliette "dying" in "Cry havoc," neither of the bolts hit a vital organ (one's in her shoulder and the other at the base of her neck but at the front, not where the arteries are located), and there isn't nearly enough blood for her to have bled out. And she passed out way too quickly for it to have been caused by shock.Hi Face,
Add to that Trubel telling Nick in "Eve of Destruction" that she knew Juliette was alive when Chavez took her out of the house, and it's obvious that the bolts were loaded with the tranquilizer.
Thanks for your commentary. I commented about the cinematic imagery of a person wounded and bleeding from the mouth is "presumed" dead. The clinical severity of her wounds was never disclosed. The bolt to the left of her sternum may have been intended to indicate she was shot through the heart.
Regardless, if the scene of her in the open coffin at the cemetery with all of the cast present ended with the lid closed and the coffin lowered into the grave, I would be satisfied that she was "indeed dead" as G&K confirmed. Even if Nick did bury her, returning as Eve was as HR said, "a ridiculous cop-out."
