MD Thoughts

Okay. Here's a thought. It's probably not a new thought at all, but...it exists.

No one can die. Unless they're burned. I'm going to go with burning actually working for now, until proven otherwise. If I missed a line of dialogue somewhere that contradicts this, let me know.

So. Let's say Jack was incinerated. Instantly. Completely. How does he come back from that? I mean, of course, prior to the Miracle. And I know he's been exploded and came back from that, but burnt to nothing but ash? That isn't regenerating cells, as there is no point to start from. Just...ash.

Also, if Owen had really wanted to die...couldn't they have incinerated him? It'd work the same way, I imagine.

I'm going to go...stop being morbid now.

This was the first episode I actually liked. Up until now, I've been like "whatever", but I actually got into the ep. I think it was because there was a bit more Jack/Gwen/Rhys interaction. When the old team is together, I care. When they aren't..eh.

I don't think they did a good job with the Gwen explosion scene. It was totally unclear to me what she was blowing up. And yeah, were there people in there?

And of course, as I figured, this is turning out to be all about Jack...which is ok with me. He's the only reason I watch the show anyway.

I get where you're coming from, but it would be so nice to have something POSITIVE be all about Jack instead this ongoing series of horrible things directly or indirectly related to him.

He's lost so much and given so much that it's depressing to see him continuing to suffer.

I think the explosion was about the explosion, not about any character development or plot consistency. It read to me like "OK, now, we're going to have Gwen explode the camp to take it down, how do we get to that point? Wait, we only have ten minutes left in this episode because we let Maloney go on and on about badminton? OK, here's what we do, she stumbles across some C4 - it's there as a backup plan in case the crematoriums fail, silly! - then we have her..."
