Talk:Boris Grishenko

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Added patronymic "Ivanovich," which comes from John Gardner's novelization of the film.

[edit] status

Is there any validity to the claim that Boris survives due to an implausible circumstance (being frozen in liquid nitrogen while at the same time being heated by a fire does not mean that he survives)? I would like to see a source for this.

Same here, don't the cells of the body burst when frozen?
There has to be some sort of solution to this constant back-and-forth on his status (he's alive, he's dead, he's invincible, he's frozen...). We all thought we saw him die in the film. Then he shows up in the video game, but what's the canonicity of the video game? There's has to be a way past this... I'm open to any and all suggestions, including a dual listing. -- nae'blis (talk) 21:41, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
I got a look at the novelization in a used book store, and it explictly states he dies. Just so you know--Lenin & McCarthy 22:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you (seriously)! I'd already decided that since whether or not he dies in the video game depensd on the player's actions, it doesn't make sense to allow that as evidence of his survival. -- nae'blis 20:00, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
I can confirm this from the novelisation. He dies. There's no way someone could live through that (unless they're made of a liquid mimetic polyalloy, am I right?) and he's definitely not invincible. We all saw what happened when he got hit by Natalya :P Also, direct contact to liquid nitrogen would cause cryogenic burns. You don't just "thaw" from something like that even if there is fire blazing around; we clearly saw him freeze. K1Bond007 03:00, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
