Did someone post on here that Stephen's character died in V?

We don't actually see him die, but I think it can be assumed that he does.

V assumed Gordon was killed because they found the Qur'an hidden in his house and probably because of the homoerotic pictures as well.
In those final scenes when Parliament was blown up we see Gordon and a few other characters who died including the girl who did the V graffiti removing Guy Fawkes masks. Some people think that means they didn't die but I think that scene was just to represent them being there in spirit or something. That all those who died had resisted the regime and were killed for it and now things were going to change. But I do however like the fanfic in which it turns out Gordon didn't die and was just taken to be tortured (horrible I know) and then being freed like everyone else later and living to tell what happened. I liked all the extra stuff that was thrown in with other characters and their backgrounds and all the detailed stuff making up the events that lead to Sutler's reign in England. I love V For Vendetta, I'm really into books and films with dystopian themes. Stuff like 1984, Brave New World and Harrison Bergeron. I ended up seeing this film because I was looking up on the internet for more ideas of what to check out next in this genre and V For Vendetta kept coming up so I watched the trailer and rushed to see the film the next day. I'm glad I did. I really liked this film and can't understand all the slagging off this has got from critics. *cough*JonathanRoss*cough* I've bought the comicbook now, I can't wait to read it, I've had a flick through and can already see the differences and am eager to see just how much it feels different what with it being wrote during Thatcherism and the film was a reworking of it to suit the current climate. They talked about the comic quite a lot in the featurettes on the dvd. Did anyone else get the 2-disc version with a free comicbook sample?

Just realized something: Fry's characters tend to get named Gordon more often than warranted by the laws of probability, don't they?

He's also had the name of Peter in two films: Peter's Friends (Peter Morton) and Whatever Happened to Harold Smith (Peter Robinson), and now in Kingdom (Peter Kingdom). Stephen has a thing for Peters.
I think of myself as someone who is filled with love, whose only purpose in life was to achieve love. - Stephen Fry |

Oh I see.
So Gordon was in the crowd but wasn't really. |

Yep, he looks very different and he's not even gay, he has a relationship of some kind with Evey who's a prostitute - that's about as far as I know the differences go. I need to start reading it.
