I had the same thought! He did sound a tad skittlish.

If he's going to die, he needs to die in a blaze of glory, not falling off a zipline.
KC has mentioned that if they get into a position where they will die, they die (like Samantha).
As much as I love Burt, and I do, I also think the idea of his death being such an anticlimax (if he's dead) is brilliant. We are all expecting this blaze of glory, so if we don't get it, it reinforces the 'even main character's aren't safe' thing. So, don't want him to be dead, but think that if he is it's the perfect way for him to go (ie against convention)!

Things to point out:
Scratch doesn't want to shoot Lizzy, and I'm pretty sure she was lying when she was said it was because of the bargaining chip. This leads me to believe that Scratch possibly could have lost a child or had a miscarriage or something before this all started. Just a theory.

Scratch refers to Burt as the Old Man when talking to Tar earlier on, which is interesting as it goes towards the possibility that Burt did survive.....

And how did Riley become unconscious, not really explained.
So we think they have Burt, awesome. Doesn't mean he's alive. Could just be the body?
Also, I think it was smoke inhillation that caused Riley's unconsciousness.

I'm sure there are more thoughts out there. SOme of them may even be mine. We shall find out when all the disparate threads are merged. (Some of them are already. fun times)
