She seems to think she was happy, so I don't think she was at a funeral. That's a lot of acceptance for just a month on. Maybe it was a dream.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ita,
I think we (as viewers) are supposed to wonder if the fiancee was dreaming since Fiennes AA friend got proof his daughter is dead. So it seems that he was dreaming on 4/29/10.

1) she said she saw him, but we didn't see him
Right. And under my assumption that only what they show us is the truth, we can't take her statement at face value.

But this is throwing me. Because there has to be more to that storyline.

And, boy, does it seem to be a quick flight across the pond.
This has been bothering me since last night. They flew to Munich, talked with the Nazi, had time to go to a bar for recriminations and whiskey, waited for Demitri to validate Nazi's flash forward with stoner underwear guy (all this in vastly different time zones), went back to talk to the Nazi, got played hard, and flew back to America in time for Mark to have the sexy sex with Oliva. In one day?
Did Aaron get a DNA test on the exhumed body, or did he just check the coffin for a body? Because that sure was fast too.
This is what I was wondering, too. I'm assuming that he saw a body but didn't get a DNA test. It's disbelief-suspension-stretching enough that Demitri could get all the strings pulled that quickly to get the grave exhumed, but no mention was made of the super-secret FBI 5-minute DNA test.

I agree.

Clearly, his daughter has an identical twin they never knew about.

I thought about that possibility. Seriously.
For about 90 seconds.

I was suspecting it before the Nazi said anything, so now I feel like it's canon.

Also, how long ago was the blackout? A few days? How in the hell has the Audubon Society conducted a worldwide census of crows and posted the results already?

This is why it's bad to watch TV when you have a degree in something. Admittedly, I got my wildlife management degree in the early 80’s but the stats and graphs that they Googled? Threw me out of the story and made me rant for at least 30 minutes. Seriously? Monthly bird census totals on one species, especially one as widespread as crows????? Seriously? There’s like 40 species of crows. The Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count takes weeks to publish, even with the tech we have now, because they have to have actual people counting the birds. They might get some of the info from the BTO but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a database that generates a by-month by-species count with graphs. Believe me... it would have come in handy when I was doing my senior thesis on bird populations in So Cal. Clearly I have issues with this… I should just let it go but it was an epic wildlife fail!
