My personal favorite is the one in B5.
For getting June Lockhart and Bill Mumy (who I think looks a bit like our very own Gaffer Tape) back in the same show together alone it was worth it's use.
So in several bits of fiction lately the magic healing blood device has been utilized. All it makes me wonder is why? It seems like in 2005ish it got used in 2ndBSG and then it opened the magic healing blood device floodgates. Maybe it was used before but off the top of my head I'm not remembering anything that did. Apart from it being an easy out for writers in terms of bringing characters back it really serves no purpose. It weakens to narrative of the story and is annoying. It seems just to be an easy writing crutch to fall back on, like the "it was all a dream" thing that used to get used a lot. I'm personally hoping that it dies out....
What are your thoughts on this plot device?

The concept of MHB, goes back at least to the 60's.
Where were you in '77?

There wasn't magic healing blood in B5. That was a device that was developed to punish criminals by transferring their life force. It's left ambiguous enough that it's arguable the transference of their life isn't even necessary. Could've just been a lie made by that alien government to have a death penalty. Maybe with some modifications it could be used on it's own. Not the same thing at all.Bingowings said:

I wasn't aware of The Immortal series either, until the SciFi channel began showcasing short lived series in it's early years. Saw a lot of genre shows that hadn't been seen since they originally aired.
Kind of sad they don't do that anymore.

Magic healing device was magic and healed and was a device.
Ah, back when they were still called Sci-Fi channel. Good times for that channel good times...
