Ethan Buried Alive?

mpumo · 06-18-2007, 02:21 PM

I was re-watching the season 1 episode where Charlie and Hurley were burying Ethan Rom. During the last instance of that scene, the camera cuts to a side view of Ethan's covered body. If you pay close attention, you can see that the blanket was moving up and down, to suggest that the body underneath was still breathing. I do not believe that this is a production error, because normally, the producers would have used a dummy, not a real human. I believe it was their intention to show us that the body was still breathing, thus still alive.

Well, I swore I saw his hand move before in that episode. but i was probably wrong

Now I have to watch that one over again, the being buried alive must be a recurring theme. Watch out for spider Bites, thinking of Nikki and Paulo

I just watched it again, I did not see the hand move, but it did look like the wrapped body might have been breathing. IF he had jumped up at that point, right when Charlie and Hurley were talking about people rising from the dead, it might have been too much to believe. However I bet the writers at least thought about that.
It does seem hard to kill some people off though.

and, actually when libby is covered with the blanket u can see her still breathing after shes been shot...but i think that ones an error, unless hurley is hiding her somewhere!

Some people just won't die will they? Patchy, Ethan, Libby, Patchy, Richard (well, he might be able to die, but not of old age apparently), patchy.... Did I mention Mikhail? If only Boone and Charlie were as resilient.

Mikhail is a zombie, I swear.
I wonder if he stays dead this time...

As long as AL doesn't come back then I'm happy. Oh, and Nikki and Paulo, they suck too.

...and thats why they would typically use a dummy.

They have to have some intelligence to remember lines etc so they really are not dummies, oh wait, nevermind
