Can Kevin just resurrect himself anytime now?


It kinda takes some of the stakes away from the show if Kevin is essentially immortal. Plus that karaoke scene was ridiculous. What's next? "Kevin gets his head cut off, but he wins a game of Lacrosse and makes it back home for supper!"

This is one of my fav shows though.

I doubt it. Wasn't there four outfits in the hotel closet? He has worn two of them so far. So my guess is that he gets one more get out of death free card and the last outfit is for when he stays for good.

This.

He's not, the only things he's come back from are injuries it's possible to survive - an unspecified poison and a gunshot wound. Matt Jamison's wife was also in the hotel after suffering a coma.

When people have sustained injuries you can't survive, such as being shot in the head, having their throats cut and being buried for months or dying from gunshot wounds, being examined by medical personnel then put in body bags and taken away they haven't come back.

As a rational person I'd look at that and say Kevin wasn't dead either time, he was hallucinating the whole thing. Otherwise it's a very funny coincidence that all the people who were definitely dead didn't come back and the people who "died" of things you can come back from were fine.

Remember when I promised to kill you last?

When has Kevin ever played Lacrosse!? Do you even know if he knows how to play the game!?

He is a white guy that was born and raised in the northeast. So yeah, he knows how to cradle a ball, snap that stick back and release.

Well...

You sound like a person with a lot of experience in this matter...so, no reason not to take your word for it.

Yes, yes I do. Being a white male born and raised in the northeast, I too have played Lacrosse. It continues the tradition of stealing something that once belonged to Native Americans.

Question for the Yankees: Is lacrosse class specific for white folks? Pre-14th seemed to be a SES/class difference between him and the first wife.
