So... does this mean Elizabeth won't show up in season 4 any more?

Hint- (v.)To indicate or make known in an indirect manner.

You don't make known speculation. Facts are made known. It could merely be a hint that the Weir we knew is effectively "dead". Look at my first post in reference to SW epIV. Same type of situation could occur here.

hint /h?nt/
–noun
1. an indirect, covert, or helpful suggestion; clue: Give me a hint as to his identity.
2. a very slight or hardly noticeable amount; soupçon: a hint of garlic in the salad dressing.
3. perceived indication or suggestion; note; intimation: a hint of spring in the air.
4. Obsolete. an occasion or opportunity.
–verb (used with object)
5. to give a hint of: gray skies hinting a possible snowfall.
–verb (used without object)
6. to make indirect suggestion or allusion; subtly imply (usually fol. by at): The article hinted at corruption in the mayor's office.


Oh, and I see you've conveniently ignored the word 'indicate' in your definition

FACT. She was seen at the end of BAMSR.

No. Torri was seen at the end of BAMSR, we don't know what character she's playing.

[Killdeer]

It's not been proven that she's dead. It's not been proven that she's alive. It could go either way at this point. Some people might believe she's dead, some people might believe she's alive, but there's not enough proof for either side to back up their claims. We just have to wait until S5.

Doesn't mean it is. I would infer that hints usually refer to information that is 70-80% correct. Not 50% probable.

ah, so know we come down to a subjective definition of a hint. But it really doesn't matter what you believe a hint to be, because its possible that the actual fact is that Weir is dead.

[Ltcolshepjumper]

That is not a fact. We know for a fact that something that resembles and appears to be Weir was in BAMSR. We also know that there is at least one replica of Weir running about (Nanite!Weir from TMC). We also know that the Asurans themselves are quite proficient at replicating someones appearance.

We don't know that Nanite!Weir is alive. We don't knwo that one of the Asurans is so infatuated with Dr. Weir's appearance that he or she would imitate it. We do not know that the Weir in BAMSR is a replica.

FACT. She was seen at the end of BAMSR.

Torri Higginson != Elizabeth Weir

It's possible that the actual fact is that Weir is alive. this started because Jenks assumed by my post that I dismissed the possibility that our Weir was dead. Which I proceeded to clarify before you entered the discussion.

correct. But I didn't say that any of those were a fact.

[Suzotchka]

No. Torri was seen at the end of BAMSR, we don't know what character she's playing.

Wow, you're really grasping for straws now!

You're still missing the point, no one is arguing that that was or wasn't Weir, or that she is dead or alive, we're simply arguing that what RepliKeller said was a hint, whether it was an indication of the truth or not.

[Ltcolshepjumper]

correct. But I didn't say that any of those were a fact.

Yeah, you did. you said that is was a fact that Weir's clone was still alive. Which it isn't.

[jenks]

Wow, you're really grasping for straws now!

How do you work that one out? It's well within the realms of possibility that she's a replicator, it's extremely likely, in fact.

[Agent_Dark]

It's possible that the actual fact is that Weir is alive. this started because Jenks assumed by my post that I dismissed the possibility that our Weir was dead. Which I proceeded to clarify before you entered the discussion.

Actually, this started as a debate over what the word 'Hint' meant.

[jenks]

It's possible that the actual fact is that Weir is alive. this started because Jenks assumed by my post that I dismissed the possibility that our Weir was dead. Which I proceeded to clarify before you entered the discussion.

No it never, and no I never. This started because you said there was no hint that Weir was dead, when there clearly is.

[Suzotchka]

How do you work that one out? It's well within the realms of possibility that she's a replicator, it's extremely likely, in fact.

And it's also possible that she's NOT.

You want to believe she's dead - go ahead. But you can't dismiss other people who disagree with you.
