It's a shame that they waited so long to bring Michael into the season because that seemed like a tale that could have been much better if they had spent more time with it. Even if they made 16 episodes as planned, I think his story would still seem really condensed. Michael didn't come back in until episode 7 and he only appeared in 6 episodes (counting that one scene return in episode 7) and a basically minor character like Lapidus was in at least 9 episodes.

EDIT: I guess the main reason why I want to think that Michael is alive is so they can actually have a story that is more fleshed out. It seems like they had the Cliff Notes version of Michael's return (and I don't think the two episodes lost to the strike would have really changed the story that much). One episode, he came back in one scene. The next episode, you saw what he did after he left the island. The next episode, he had a scene or two where he was locked up in his cabin for destroying the engines. They let him out and he blew up. This a rare occurance of a Lost story moving too fast in my mind.
