River ,'The Message'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
I hope they're not dead. I think that would be a little too cliche.
That's true, but how do you explain 48 people initially surviving a major plane crash in which the cockpit and tail both broke off. The fuselage would plummet to earth at a terminal velocity which should be enough to complete obliterate everthing. (Although this depends on the altitude of the plane when everything started to go wrong, but I have to assume that the plane was flying at least two miles up.)
It still bugs me that the writers think that the inside of an airliner is highly flammable, or that bodies are so easily cremated.
To me, all of them being dead would be like Buffy being crazy. Nifty, but disappointing as a fan.
It would be interesting/weird/disappointing if when the plane was going down they got pulled into another dimension. Although that does goes into a Buffy sort of story.
I can believe no one else can swim. I've been alarmed at the number of people who don't or can't or won't. Take the likely number of the 47 46 who can swim, and then divide that by the number who know how and are inclined to rescue, you're lucky you have more than a couple.

I'd guess more like five. Cruising altitude for most long flights is around 35,000 ft.
Gus - is this where you posted about the epileptic trees and our lurker? Because he/she just linked to us from the Fuselage. Curiouser and curiouser.
Damn, that was still a good ending ("Walkabout.").

Weeeeird. Who is this person? Gus posted initially in B'cracy, and then asked in here. What's the link to? Us or this thread?
You people are freaking me out with your notions that JJA could actually allow something as Twilight Zones as "they are all dead!"
Stop it!
I hope they're not dead, too.
I'm sure others can swim--but it's being a strong enough swimmer to brave those kind of waves for a rescue. Not always the smart thing to do.
