Is it December already? Ellestra Send a noteboard - 10/10/2009 09:34:02 AM
I liked the episode but the crow data puzzled me. The graph showing the worldwide crow population showed that something like 90% of it died but then it started to rapidly rise again. I was shocked first - in just a couple of weeks? With northern hemisphere going into winter season (no bids breeding)? But then I looked closely and the data was ending in December. Does that mean it's been two month already in the show?

First of all, kudos to the makers for actually hiring Germans or at at least people who speak without accents to play Germans. Most 80s movies can't claim that. Plus it was nice to see Thomas Kretschmann, our current man in Hollywood in a small role. Couldn't find major flaws in their image of Munich and Germany

I though it was a nice touch too. Although, with their budget, I expected as much.

So, crows drop like flies during the blackout, and apparently there have been smaller blackouts in Somalia before. Caused by the tower we saw in the end?

That flash back to the Somalia event - why the boy didn't black out? As I understand crows die from whatever causes the black out and people in that region of Somalia lost consciousness that day. So how come the boy can run around to that tower/chimney/whatever? And the smoke shaped as a crow was bit cheesy.

It's also interesting to note that while some events continue to lead to their flash forwards (Gina Torres meets adoptive son), others don't. The bearded guy's daughter's remains were in the grave?

I think it will turn out that the DNA samples in records were switched or something like that.
I think all the flash forwards are true. They are sometimes misinterpreted but they show the person in six months time in the future. I just wonder why, while they know flash forward happened, they seem to live that moment as if it was a normal day.

Also, did Dimitri's fiancée really see him in her FF? We didn't see that. But why would she claim so?

I think she never saw him. She just saw someone and assumed it was him because of the setting and the dress. But white is the colour of death in Asian cultures and the dress was real simple. I think it was some kind of funeral ceremony (but on the other hand - over a month after he died?)
Evolution, just like gravity, works even if you don't believe in it.

Stupidity doesn't hurt but it kills.
