1. He is still basically an undead zombie
Remember, the performers could not steal his breath... he doesn't have any...

3. Hope that wasn't too much as I download the torrent each week just
after it airs on BBC.

7. He's still dead and wondering
how to cope with being dead while still walking/talking.

He hurts himself without realizing it, and being dead he doesn't heal.

He tried to help an elderly invalid with an alien piece of technology but, when the man needed CPR, he realized he didn't have any breath to fill the man's lungs so he died. I think Owen wished he could too.

We don't know what that thing is he got from the old man (the same guy from Good Neighbors way back when, forget his name)

It seems to me to be a metaphor for when you feel so pained by life that you don't feel, you're just numb. Other hurts are the only way you know you are still alive.

8. Oddly enough, I like Owen better dead. And I think he was right, he does make an
interesting foil for Jack always dead vs always alive.

I really had thought they would go to Suzie's glove in order to try and fix him. Isn't it still around somewhere in the lab or something?

9. He certainly has more pathos
as a dead man.

"he does make an interesting foil for Jack always dead vs always alive. "

Excellent point. I wonder where they are going with this tension. :D

The glove: They tried to use it, but Jack couldn't control it and it began to attack other team members. Tasha wound up shooting it to pieces.

10. That was the St. Mary's glove. Suzie's glove, the mate, is still around somewhere. (And could you
believe how many Weevils were out there? Crazy!)

12. Yeah! I am bummed that my hubby stopped watching it with me, because I have no one to

14. Well, they did say
or at least allude to the idea that they thought the other glove was probably still buried in the monastery somewhere.

Why they haven't gone to look for it, I have no idea. :shrug:

I'm glad you guys are here too. I don't know anyone who watches it in my offline life.

15. While being disappointed with season 1, I am enjoying season 2
Storylines and character development has been much more interesting.

16. I liked season 1. It got me sucked in all right. But I definitely I am finding
season 2 more interesting. I guess the stakes are higher now that we know more about the characters.

And yes, Owen is much nicer dead...

However, there are rumors that Owen and Tosh are leaving the series.
