Your opinion on Mike Miller’s fate

starklinqs:

Okay so, he’s probably dead, BUT there is a huge part of me that stubbornly clings to him being alive because: 

1. idk about you but I spent a lot of time rooting for Mike and Phil to find each other again and for him to come back and then get the damn virus is too much for me. TLMOE is probably going to do it. But still. 

2. Watching tv has taught me golden rules: “No face, no case.” “No body, no proof.” “Unless you see them die on screen, they ain’t dead” (and depending on the show the last one might not even be true lmfao). But bottom line: if I don’t see a character physically die, in my mind they’re still out there and alive. 

3. Seriously wouldn’t it be awesome if the group thinks they’re all caught by Pat’s crew and then boom comes Mike Miller??? (Although with this show he’d probably save them and then die with Phil by his side lmfao) 

4. Not a reason for him living but I need more Jason Sudeikis on my screen. 

He’s still probably dead though. 

It’s so hard to call because I know Will Forte did an interview where he said something like, even though it was ambiguous he thought the ending was beautiful and he wasn’t sure about going back on it? And obviously Jason Sudeikis is in EVERYTHING right now (I looked up the film Race because I want to see it tomorrow, and guess what? He’s in that too) so he’d probably never be able to be a TV show regular, but…

…I think ultimately I want Mike’s existence/death to mean something? As it is, it’s just an unfair striking down that makes Phil a better person, and that’s valid, but…I guess I assumed he’d be more instrumental to the show in a way, like it would turn out his space worms were cultivating a possible complete eradication cure of the virus or something. I still wonder about Phil-worm, currently still in the hands of Pat I believe…

ANYWAY best case scenario: he turns up alive at some crucial point, yay! Worst case scenario: show gets cancelled before we ever find out
