I think the reason that so many people want the Meta to come back is because the way he died (dragged to his death into a cliff) is too cliché. So many villains have had that treatment and its getting really old. I think they would have wanted the Meta to come back so that he would have a more unique death after battling the main characters. Also, given everything the Meta's been through (shot in the throat, hit by a truck and thrown off a several-story freeway with NO armor enhancements in Season 9), it does make sense for people to wonder if he died or not in Season 8. And even though Burnie has confirmed the Meta is dead, in n+1, the response team counted three freelancers (Wash, Tex and Meta) dead, but did they ever actually find the body?
