Opening for season 4
So this was really just a brainstorm, but I was thinking about what the reaction would have been like from their families, friends, and entire town after the crash, because that is such a genuinely tragic thing to see—that your child is missing and you have no closure. I was playing it out in my head, and then I was thinking about how that could be a really interesting way to open season four. Like it starts out with a bunch of kids at school before an announcement comes on explaining the plane had gone missing, or the families casually doing whatever at home with the tv on in the background before seeing the story.
I think it’s interesting because the first line ever said in the show comes from Allie in the pilot, who says “I’ll never forget the day I heard their plane had gone missing,” and we know this show loves to go full circle from the s3 finale, so it could be cool.
Either way, I really hope we get to see the families reactions—especially from Travis’s mom, who lost her entire family, and the families of Nat and Van, who we know canonically have frequently incapacitated / distant parents.
Anyways, does anybody have another way they think the show should open? Or things you really want to see? I’m curious.
