but I have spent a lot of time trying to figure this out. First of all, in reality how would stainless steel regenerate itself like the vertebrae did for Billy Miles. Bone can heal but how can an inanimate metal recreate an entire human (or semi-human) entity? My problem is not with science fiction, but with combining this sort of symbolism with science fiction. Stainless steel is supposedly indestructable and the symbolism for that is easy to see. However from a sci-fi sort of view, once the "enemy" is dead they don't come back like Billy Miles did.

Oh well, I guess we just have to wait and see how this goofy loose end is tied up! (If it is . . .)
