Is George Immortal?
Feb 22 2010, 11:21 PM EST | Post edited: Feb 22 2010, 11:21 PM EST
Reading the BBC novel Chasers I came across an interesting discussion on the subject of George's lifespan. George talks about how wolves live 10-20 years, so splitting the difference he might live 50 years. Or, he could live a normal human lifespan. Or he could be immortal, but he has no way of knowing yet. (Not enough time has passed from when he received the curse). I've always assumed he was immortal, it just made more sense for me in relation to his character. Another way the werewolf part of him bleed through into his "normal" human life. Than I realized it hadn't really been addressed in the series. What do you think?

Nothing has been said on the lifespan of a werewolf.
It will probably get addressed in the next series.

I think a longer lifespan than human's but not immortal is appropriate in this show for a werewolf.
Considering that to become a werewolf, he has to die apparently, or suffer what death is like.
Do you find this valuable?

Interesting. Since most werewolfs in the past are beaten to death upon sight and apparently (spoiler alert) this series the wolves are being taken out by an attempted 'cure' Its hard to say and from what I heard Tully is offed too. So there is literally no one for George to ask and I'm not sure Mitchell would know? Do you find this valuable?
