It was just his time to be flushed...... btw, how did we forget John Sheridan? His death was a three season long epic theme and the subject of an entire episode? MY BAD !

I think that by definition, a death that could be forgotten by everyone involved for the duration of the nominations process shouldn't win, since it obviously lacked something if it didn't spring immediately to mind. There are a few I've thought of since, but even the ones that I thought were really good obviously didn't really have that emotional punch. I guess that, because it was epic, Sheridan's death just Wastelanded.

Which is why so many Joss deaths went in, I reckon, because what he's good at it the stealth kill, where the entire audience just sits up and simultaneously gives vent to the same swear word.

I don't think anything's been edited, that sounds right to me. I think one of the things that made it so completely terrifying to me is that there is no sound at all. Not even music. He's utterly alone and even though you can't see his face, you can see the horrible panic. Yikes, it still gives me the creeps to think about it.
Also, after Dave does finally retrieve Frank, he is forced to let him go again so that Dave can use the pod's arms to open the ship when HAL won't let him in. The last you see of Frank, he is floating silently off into space.

yeah ... being quite a woossss when it comes to horror flicks and such, combined with being a huge fan of the space race (have attended several shuttle launches and all) ... i remember seeing it and you are sooooo right .... the utter silence was genius ... it made the scene so much more agonizing ... you just wanted to breath for him ... and since it is something you can only imagine ... i mean you can't truly relate ... it was mortifying. *takes a deep breath*
