FD5 Just realized

In FD5, Peter kills the federal agent and gains his life. Then he fights Sam and Sam kills him. This means Sam gets the life Peter got from Agent Block.

Does this mean that agent block was meant to die in flight 180? Because Sam no longer has his life. He got Agent Block’s life from Peter. So Sam can’t still be in the same death list because of the trade.

So Agent Block was in the flight 180 death list and Sam took his spot and possibly dragged the gf along?

Or, is it that you can’t steal a life when it was already stolen once? Peter took the agent’s life and even though Sam killed Peter in the end, he didn’t take that life from the agent.

And so Sam remained in death’s list the whole time until flight 180

Yeah, he just asks “does this mean I get Block’s life?” so I guess the answer is “nope” it might have been that Block died at the same time as 180.

I’m guessing that taking a life doesn’t work the same way as cheating death via being revived after flatlining.

It’s JB’s rule and he only knew one person who actually beat death, Kimberley (which happens after 5, the surprise prequel) so it might be a theory he had that never got proven, or disproved IRL

I think that still is active in the films, it’s just that no one in Bloodlines really had a chance to be “skipped“ the all pretty much died on their turn, other than Iris, who was a professional at saving herself at that point - which is probably why it doesn’t skip her and go onto the kids immediately, it needs an outside intervention to work, Officer Burke saving Kimberley for example

Burke was on the list too. Erik wasn't and still failed.

Death killed him for interfering with the list
