Dumb question:
Do the people who should have died, like Rex, heal over time? I know he's all "Waaaaaa, do I die when the Miracle is over? Waaaaaaa", but I would think his heart and.......whatever else was punctured should be somewhat healed up by the time this is over...
I don't think so.... one of the abandoned angles/storylines was that over the first few episodes Rex was essentially a pill-popping junkie because the hole in his heart (o metaphor, i shall never forsake thee!) isn't quite healing... there have also been a few token (heh) times every episode or two where rex asks "what happens to me when the miracle is over?"
so evidently either rex exists as a "say no to drugs, kids" element in the show, showing how someone with a perpetual mortal wound can overcome an addiction to painkillers by dealing with perpetual pain, or he IS getting better.... but i'm more inclined to think that the lazy writing staff just forgot about that early angle, and couldn't be arsed to write about it cuz there was SOOOOOOOO MUCH GOING ON during the middle episodes... and now that things are actually happening i don't think they can devote another 5-7 minutes of show to rex's quest to get more painkillers, especially since his firecracker latina doctor lady sleeps with the auschwitz crowd these days.
FORMALLY: WE DON'T KNOW.
INFORMALLY: methinks there's going to be a whole lot of deaths going on, and invariably rex is going to make some sort of "heroic sacrifice" where he does something to end the miracle, resulting in him staring longingly at the torchwood team before dropping dead of his wounds sustained in the first ~5 minutes of episode 1.
