[QUOTE="RedShirtNo5, post: 1815121, member: 173"] [b]The casket[/b] Was there some sign that the specfic casket was for Jack's father or that Jack recognized the casket? Here's the three explanations I can come up with: Off camera the ticket agent says something along the lines of "we'll see what we can do." Jack finds the casket, and opens with trepidation, not sure whether it is even his father's casket. Finding it empty, he concludes that it wasn't his father's casket. Angry that he can't give his father's body a burial, he smashes the casket. Off camera the ticket agent says "Nothing we can do." Jack finds the casket, and opens with trepidation, wondering if the casket was placed on the plane by accident and not sure whether it is even his father's casket. Finding it empty, he concludes that it wasn't his father's casket. Angry that he can't give his father's body a burial, he smashes the casket. Off camera the ticket agent says "OK, we'll do it." Jack finds the casket, and opens with trepidation, having been wierded out by the hallucinations. Finding it empty, he realizes that he was hallucinating, and concludes that the airline removed the body. Angry that the agent lied, that his father's body was mistreated, and that he can't give his father's body a burial, he smashes the casket. No matter what the agent said, we don't know whether it was the father's casket, or whether the father's body was in the casket but is missing for normal or paranormal reasons. Side note: I found the timing of Jack's crying and the discovery of the waterfall interesting. -RedShirt [/QUOTE]
