Was this the first episode that we heard Saul's call-sign?
Any ideas on why he is "Penguin" - I wondered if it was a nod to plot for this chapter.
Penguin = flight less water bird = Coast Guard helicopter that has been nobbled

Not the first part to have this quote, but it was the first chapter. It could be because "broken wing" was already taken, and "chicken" is a little too cliché.Quote:

About the second pilot and Saul... Saul is specialization in the mountain division. I don't know a bunch about being a specialist in the military but I do know the best way to move around a mountain is by Helicopter. Also, Saul said that HE would fly the helicopter looking for Lizzy does that mean that Saul has at least some flying experience.
Oh man, We need to get Donald Trump in here to start demanding that Pippen produce his long form birth certificate! I just really dont believe the guy is on the up and up. And I know that scratches coment about dropping him off seemed too obvious but its still a clue as to something is not right.
I just have to say I hate Pippen's name. "Pip pip cheerio! My name is Pippen! Care for a spot of tea?" It is such a stereotypical name for an Englishman. I believe Charles Dicken's protagonist in Great Expectations was Pip. Anway, I think the name Pippen is a bit over the top. But, I still love the show, don't get me wrong!
Also, I really like the character development of Michael. You can really tell in this chapter just how worn down he is. He is trying to do what he thinks is right, but in these circumstances, what is right and just may get you killed.
Kelly seems to be acting a little odd in this chapter. I never thought of her as the rat, but she is acting way to suspicious for me to ignore it.
I thought I saw one of our military users mention him being in Mountain division wouldn't necessarily mean he would know how to fly a chopper.....or am I imagining things again because I went off my meds?......*twitch*Quote:

What are you referring to when you say she's acting odd? I'm just wondering because I want to know what you were picking up that we might have missed. I don't think anyone else in this massive 18 page thread has said Kelly was acting strangely. (And if you did sorry! It's a massive 18 page thread and I might have missed something!)Quote:
