| rdfs:comment | - Michael's inability to die or be killed is reminiscent of that of a time traveler arriving from the future. If the freighter explosion sent him to the future and he would 'later' travel back to a point in time before the freighter explosion, he could not kill himself or be killed as this would otherwise constitute a temporal paradox (The huge problem, of course, is that it would have to be the Michael from the Future trying to kill himself and couldn't explain what happened to island Michael).

* Jacob would not let Michael die until he served his purpose. We learn in "Dr. Linus" (season 6) that Richard Alpert cannot kill himself, and so he asks Jack to light the dynamite in the Black Rock for him. Jack lights the dynamite but refuses to leave the ship, and sure enough, the fuse burns out -- just as the gun misfired when Michael tried to shoot himself in the head, and just as Kearney's gun misfires when he tries to shoot Michael on the boat -- because Jack (and/or Richard) is still under Jacob's protection. Michael's "tasks" appear to have been limited to providing Linus with the names of the people on the boat and saving the lives of Jin, Sun, Lapedis and/or Desmond - none of which would provide any apparent benefit to Nemesis/MiB. The fact that Christian was the one to tell Michael his service was complete suggests Christian actually is on Jacob's side -- if Nemesis/MiB were able to materialize on a ship off the coast of the island, then his complaints of being trapped there and wanting to leave would make no sense.
* richard couldnt kill him self because people who were blessed by jacob were not able to kill them selves,the dynamite didnt work because jack him self was unable to kill him self,its one of the rules
* Inconclusive: Since we do not know how long MiB can retain his hovering smoke monster form, he may be able to cross a certain distance over the water but not across an ocean. Likewise Michael died on the Kahana but his ghost / spirit was able to travel back to the island. de:Michael Dawson/Theories es:Michael Dawson/Theories it:Michael Dawson/Theories
