[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 1806300, member: 151"] The real trick is trying to figure out what was a budget concern, what was a concession to plot, what was just done to look really cool versus an actual clue/herring. For example: much has been made of not showing the actual crash and not doing lots of close-ups and work with the animals, but I suspect these were more production-based concerns than actual plot points. M. Night Shamaylan pointed out that the reason they never used their filmed footage of the train wreck in "Unbreakable" was that it looked bad. A TV series has to make do with even less money...and that special effect for the shattering of the plane must have been expensive. Showing the crash probably would have been prohibitively expensive and might not have worked. Which doesn't mean that they did or didn't crash, but I suspect it less. It's a trick of the show: we don't know the ground rules, yet. Until we know the world's reality set, everything is just conjecture. Could the plane have been hit by wind shear? Otherwise, it was pretty odd. [/QUOTE]
