But being who I am, I was insulted by the writers giving an airplane a REVERSE GEAR! It would have taken so little effort to not require the airplane to back up. At least they had the thrust reversers deployed. But I'm not so sure it would be able to get the plane unstuck.
I was allowing that ok...maybe they have enough fuel.....and battery power....and whatever else...
It's such a small detail that would have been so easy to avoid. In my mind it's just lazy.
(and yes I realize that smoke monsters don't exist either, so the whole thing requires a suspension of reality.
Unless! Unless like curing Locke's paralysis, maybe the island gives airplanes special abilities! Like reverse! NOW it makes sense.
Did they ever answer why pregnant women don't fare too well on the island?
