Should He Have Come Back?

[Malion]

I think there is more to Jacob than meets the eye. Perhaps imortality comes in many forms on the island.
Lets see... several Losties have returned as Ghosts, and Richard seems to have slowed his internal Clock... so... perhaps Mikhail has his own imortality... where he returns... only to be course corected back dead.
It's complicated, but perhaps Mikhail's personally immortality isn't natural like the others... thats why he dies or gets beat to unconciousness in every episode that he appears in.

In all honesty, I like that he came back, though, I wish they had hinted at his possible revival beforehand... as to make it less jarring to see him return.

Very interesting theory. Don't forget, he has one eye missing so maybe he has been round this personal loop of his many many times.

It would also explain why he has blown himself up. It wasn't suicide. He knows that he will be back.
