Idle Dandy: I feel like I should add this entry to the index and indent the subtropes, but I'm not sure how to do that. Also, I'm not sure if such major changes should be done without some type of OK.
Gus: Cool idea. I'll do the deed.
Darmok: Which of these tropes would Apophis from Stargate SG-1 fit in to? He has been Killed Off for Real more than once.
Gus: I must have missed this storyline. Generally, if they come back, they ain't Killed Off for Real. You know, there isn't an entry for all the post-death transformations that are possible — back as a ghost, vampire, zombie, godling, etc. Maybe Apophis fits into that new category.
Darmok: (SPOILER WARNING) Events in "The Serpent's Lair" (2x01) do allow for a Never Found the Body, but in "Serpent's Song" (2x18) Apophis clearly flatlines, dies, and is Killed Off for Real. However, because Stargate SG-1 is a Science Fiction show, some (previously established) Applied Phlebotinum later (in sarcophagus form) can bring him Back from the Dead to hassle our heroes again in "Jolinar's Memories" (3x12).
Darmok: I have just created a new trope, Back from the Dead, to deal with situations like this.
Gus:Yup, I missed SG-1.2 and SG-1.3 Thanks for the synopsis. BTW, Your trope isn't showing up.
Darmok: I was probably still editing it at the time. I think it's working now.
Gus: Yup, she's a workin' now.
Janitor: The Bleach thing is undergoing a rewrite. Pulled off until its successor shows up.
Kilyle: It is impossible to skim through these entries to find contrasting death tropes you don't know the name of (e.g., I'm trying to find the trope that means the heroes kill the Big Bad, no If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!, no One-Winged Angel so it's okay, no nothing). I think it would be very useful to find some way to split this index into several sections or... something.
LordManiMani: Dead Trope Society seems like it would be a fun name for this index.
