It still bugs me that the writers think that the inside of an airliner is highly flammable, or that bodies are so easily cremated.
They don't need to cremate them, just burn them. The human body burns quite well.
Plus? It doesn't matter that the fuselage is flammable, they piled it with wood. The metal skin of the aircraft would tend to concentrate any heat generated, and if they blocked off the ends with pieces of fuselage, it would be a veritable oven.
Plus? If it's an aluminum alloy, it might even melt into pools of useful ore they could work with.
Nonian, thanks for the lead. I

to know who "tivodivo" is!
I'd guess more like five. Cruising altitude for most long flights is around 35,000 ft
I was trying to be conservative. I would think that the plane would have descended some due to the fact that their radio was out. At a lower altitude they might have been able to contact someone with the transeiver.

Is this the ep where everyone starts going Lord of the Flies?
I hope she saves the impractical clothes.... wooo!
Most importantly, I think the single most convincing argument that they are not dead is that people have sustained injuries (Walt's dad) on the island. That really doesn't make much sense for people who are already dead. Plus, why didn't the dead people in the fusilage make it?
There's just too much gritty reality going on to support a "they're dead," argument, for my taste.
(Keep in mind, I haven't seen White Rabbit yet, but the rest of my argument still stands)
Jack, Jack, Jack. They're looking for leadership. Give in to the alpha maleness. Daddy was wrong.
I noticed there was dialogue in the captioning that wasn't in the show.
When the kids were beating up Marc Silverman (the other kid) they were calling him a "faggot" and asking Jack if he was trying "to help his faggot friend."
Although I understand them leaving it out as unneccessary, it did ring true to schoolyard bullies.
