Whether he meant tech resources, being able to more efficiently harness solar power for example. That could also explain why the plane went to Yuma (sunniest place in the US). Or it could be possible that the Inostrankans can use their collective psychic energy.ObFuSc8https://www.blogger.com/profile/05017903266112703350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597909251504408945.post-30298038351631130482010-10-05T00:23:47.894+01:002010-10-05T00:23:47.894+01:00I thought I posted this in the discussion of Ep1, ...I thought I posted this in the discussion of Ep1, but looking back I think blogger ate those comments.<br /><br />Here's a <a href="http://www.theevent-tv.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=15&pos=773" rel="nofollow">screencap of the President on TV</a> From Ep1.<br /><br />The crawling text at the bottom of the screen mentions, "more cases of an unidentified strain of influenza."<br /><br />Sean Walker's bio on the NBC site mentions he's a big Stephen King fan and has read The Stand 7 times. The Stand was the book Sean was reading on the beach in Antigua too.<br /><br />I think we will probably be seeing an engineered strain of Influenza come into play within the next few episodes. At this point I'm thinking the Inostrankans will help to create a vaccine, but it's possible that a faction among them actually engineered the strain of Influenza.<br />-------------------------------------------------------<br />Here's another screencap from Ep1 of the <a href="http://www.theevent-tv.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=15&pos=806" rel="nofollow">people that killed Val Buchanan/kidnapped Samantha & Michael</a> etc.<br /><br />It's just the backs of their heads, but is a woman with brown hair and a man. The woman seems to tall to be the Agent that came to get Sean in Yuma, and couldn't be Vicki since she was in Antigua at that point.<br /><br />Has anyone found screencaps of those peoples faces, maybe in reflections in the windows?ObFuSc8https://www.blogger.com/profile/05017903266112703350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597909251504408945.post-52515139093354236212010-10-05T00:07:16.671+01:002010-10-05T00:07:16.671+01:00Thinking about that, what Thomas/Simon's convo...Thinking about that, what Thomas/Simon's convo and screencaps from the scenes at the end of Ep2 makes me wonder if those passengers are actually dead.<br />------------------------------------------<br /><b>Thomas:</b><i>I decided that since we had the passengers, we might as well use them. The plane's in Arizona. Here are the coordinates. You'll understand when you find it.</i><br /><br /><b>Simon:</b><i>What does that mean?</i><br /><br />As JT and TKI have already asked, why would Thomas/free Inostrankans save the Avias 514 passengers only to kill them a few minutes later?<br />-----------------------------------------<br />Now take a look at <a href="http://www.theevent-tv.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=20&page=20" rel="nofollow">screencaps of the "dead" Avias passengers</a> from the end of Ep2.<br /><br />Many of the passengers look as if they were running, and a few have their arms around the person next to them.<br /><br />But what really strikes me as odd is that there is nothing to indicate how the passengers were killed -- no gunshot wounds, burns, arcing, etc.<br /><br />It's possible that Thomas & co. had initially planned to hold the passengers to use as a trade, but that something unforeseen happened, but I don't think that's the case.<br /><br />Thomas knew that once they "took the plane" they would not only reveal that Free Inostrankans did indeed exist, but that they have tech capabilities far beyond those of humans.<br /><br />I wonder if the Avias passengers were somehow put in a state like suspended animation. I'm not sure how that would allow Thomas to "use them", unless the intent is to revive the Avias passengers in exchange for releasing the Inostrankan detainees.<br /><br />I guess there are methods that could have killed those passengers that wouldn't leave any outward signs -- like using a focused EMP to cause fatal arrythmias. That would be a much more menacing message -- that the Free Inostrankans could kill quickly, efficiently, from a distance and without leaving much evidence. I just don't think that will be the way the writers take things. And I don't think Thomas is ready to blatantly disregard Sophia's wishes, yet.<br /><br />Either way, it seems Simon will know what's been done to the passengers when he sees them, so I think we'll find out today.ObFuSc8https://www.blogger.com/profile/05017903266112703350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597909251504408945.post-1891744241451555572010-10-04T22:24:22.488+01:002010-10-04T22:24:22.488+01:00Hey peeps!

The thing is, Simon Lee said "they were only able to detect small changes in their circulatory systems" and differences in pulse points would actually be a huge change. <br /><br />I'm not bringing this up to be overly critical, but because I think the absence of pulse may be a clue to something else.<br /><br />More in the next comment.ObFuSc8https://www.blogger.com/profile/05017903266112703350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597909251504408945.post-44622633473426767722010-10-04T20:58:04.498+01:002010-10-04T20:58:04.498+01:00I might not get to watch the episode until Wednesd...I might not get to watch the episode until Wednesday either, but for a different reason.<br /><br />Work really gets in the way of life sometimes !<br /><br />So tonight I leave you in the capable hands of Melissa Lossa for your next episode discussion post.Zort70https://www.blogger.com/profile/07422271592523903824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597909251504408945.post-15160698071761529742010-10-04T18:37:48.310+01:002010-10-04T18:37:48.310+01:00Will miss you Maven.

You really broke down and organized a lot of the same thoughts I had about the genetic difference mentioned.<br /><br />I think it's key to understanding who these folks are.<br /><br />Based on pretty much nothing at all, I believe the Event (if it really will turn out to be a singular Event rather than multiples) is something that caused a split in the Universe, creating...2 timelines? 2 Universes? 2 Destinies? Whatever you want to call it. And the Inostrankans are humans who developed slighly differently from us in their own Destiny. Or MAYBE, *our* world (the TV viewers) is where the Inostrankans are from - they are US.<br /><br />Some of the many puzzles:<br /><br />When they revealed the Inostrankans in 1944 immediately after the 'crash', did they seem to be wearing 1940's era clothing? If they came from elsewhere, were they 'planning' to arrive in the 1940's and dressed appropriately? Or what?<br /><br />And if their arrival in 1944 was planned, why did some of them die and get injured in the crash?<br /><br />Cosmically YoursThe Kharma Initiativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00873660127701782340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597909251504408945.post-61707129527063026682010-09-30T04:59:33.503+01:002010-09-30T04:59:33.503+01:00I think Nick Wauters was reading the sites discuss...I think Nick Wauters was reading the sites discussing The Event...he just tweeted this:<br /> <br />Thx everyone for all your support, messages/feedback.
