Contains Heroes spoilers, here, so, yeah.
Can someone who watches Heroes give an answer to the following questions:
1) Why didn’t Peter fly himself up into the sky?
2) Why didn’t Clare just shoot Peter? Then Peter would have just died, instead of both him AND his brother.
Lost:
Why didn’t Charlie and Desmond cut the damn cable?!?!?!?
There is no refuge!
You don’t know what that cable’s about. Maybe it’s a giant vestigial umbilical cord. Cutting it would do nothing except perhaps create an island belly button, in a way.
Here’s what I’d do in Lost: make an 80 mile long rope. Swim out until rope is taught. Swim in a giant circle looking for a boat. Profit.
Maybe it’s useless. But how about we cut it and check if the signal is still being jammed?
Then, if it is, we can send charlie to his death.
