Notes: When Jimmy and Lawrence are on the plane, Jimmy starts to pretend he's a 747 captain. Then Lawrence jumps in and yells "Mayday! Mayday! This Flight 714 - We're going down!" This is directly connected to the Tintin graphic novel "Flight 714," in which Tintin, Captain Haddock, and others are in a jet (Flight 714), which (due to many cirumstances)is eventually forced to crashed-land on a tropical island.

Album: The Changing Times (22) | |
Review | |
Characters: Molly, Jason Whittaker, Tasha Forbes, Mustafa, Dr. Regis Blackgaard, Filby, Donovan, Abdul |
|
Notes: GOOF ALERT: In the final scene of this episode, Mustafa injects Dr. Blackgaard with a syringe that (he thinks) contains the Ruku virus. Dr. Blackgaard falls to the floor and "dies" in a few seconds. Viruses simply do not work this way; it takes time for viruses to infiltrate the body and destroy it. The most deadly viruses that are known to exist take days to kill a person. It simply could not happen in a few seconds. Major poisons could kill a person that quickly, but a virus could not. Now the obvious explanation is that Blackgaard did not really die. However, there was at least one person there who should have realized that Blackgaard could not have been killed that quickly by a virus Tasha Forbes. Tasha is a molecular biologist and had spent years working on the virus. She should have knowns that something was very fishy when Dr. Blackgaard died that fast. Another interesting side issue deals with Dr. Blackgaard's actual death scene in AIO334:The Final Conflict. He says that "somewhere along the line, he picked up a strain of the Ruku virus". Now that is an interesting statement. In A Name, Not a Number, Part 2, Dr. Blackgaard tells Mustafa that Abdul had filled the syringe with a vitamin complex which was completely harmless. However, in AIO329: The Return, he tells Jason Whittaker that he was injected with a strain of Ruku virus that had been exposed to air. "It was enough to make me very ill, even to simulate death, but not to kill me," he says. Wait! What about the vitamin complex that Abdul put in the syringe? Of course it's possible that Blackgaard was lying to Jason. After all, if he told him that Adbul was working for him, it might lead to awkward questions about Mustafa's death. However, if the first explanation is correct, we are still left with the question where did Blackgaard get the Ruku virus? We never get the hint in any of the Darkness Before Dawn episodes that Blackgaard has made any Ruku virus with TA-418, which would make it possible to catch easily. So if none of the "enhanced" virus was made, Blackgaard had to get it from an injection since Tasha said in A Name, Not a Number, Part 2, "the only way to get the virus is to have it injected directly." Who gave Blackgaard this injection and when did it occur? We may never know. PARENTAL WARNING: These episodes are about international political intrigue and the threat of biological terrorism. While presented in a way that most youngsters will find enjoyable, these episodes may be too intense for younger listeners. Recommended maturity level: 10 and up |
