'Never Leave Me'
[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.
We all remember that Clancy Brown was the CIA agent who used Sayid in Iraq, right?
Damn, that's right. I'd been thinking he was on the show before, but I couldn't remember the context.
Also, I have no idea about the different survival rates between a fatal height and a non-fatal one. What if they were at 500 feet?
Speaking of Penny, it just occurred to me how appropriate it is to have a very rich woman named Penelope associated with a secret island base.
Snerk! And from the UK as well.
What if they were at 500 feet?
If you jump off a 50 story building, what do you figure your odds are? They were much higher than that when the plane came apart. The oxygen masks dropped. I don't know exactly what pressure differential would cause that, but thay probably had to be above 5000', certainly, and possibly 10,000' (which is the altitude that WWII crews used to put on their masks). Plus, IIRC, when the tail of the plane came off, you could see clouds below them.
There have been instances of pilots who have ejected from planes surviving water landings from several thousand feet when their chutes failed to open but they had to hit the water just right.

Thank you, I was trying to remember if we'd seen him before and wasn't sure.

And to have her remaining faithful to a guy who went on a long ocean trip (or, one might say, odyssey) and hasn't come back.

Good point. They presumably had a lot of cushioning, but I think that cuts both ways.

Hee!!

Well, if you're gonna go all classical on us.
You were the one who had to start pointing out references. I couldn't help it. When I get a light bulb, I like to share. (I am really bad at picking up the significance of character names. Every time someone points out something important about a character in Harry Potter, I go, "Ohhhhh." Remus Lupin, you say?)
Penelope!
I get it!
