That is very interesting, though personally I think if Chase wanted us to know that Tony was dead, he would have shown it. The point of all the stuff that implies he was killed is to make us think Tony could have been shot but without us definitely knowing. Otherwise we'd have actually seen him get shot. A good post, just a bit long!
I don't think you can build up a character for 10 years and then show his death. It would be very hard to pull off correctly. I think we saw Tony die the only way we could have.
Long as I remember The rain been coming down. Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun; And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
