[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize this is a fictional show and I'm wasting my gray matter ... but I've been wondering if going back for the dog (and the photo albums, geez) really made the difference re: Jack's MI.

Would it have happened just from the smoke he inhaled getting Randall, getting Kate, and then getting them all out?

I have too much time on my hands![/quote]

Well  the dog survived the smoke and he was in there the same time as Jack

It’s implied the extra time killed him. [/quote]

Small dog low to the ground on the first floor. Very different from Jack standing up on the second floor. He would have been exposed to far more smoke.[/quote]

Its also really stupid of him to go into the flames to rescue the dog. Maybe he should've waited until the firemen came to ask them to go in.[/quote]

I agree.  I've been fighting the urge to dissect the whole fire scene, but it's been bugging me.  Where WERE the firemen?? It's not like they lived in the middle of nowhere.  They had neighbors.  No one noticed an entire house engulfed in flames?

Also, if the stairs were passable enough for Jack to go downstairs and get the dog and the mementos, why did everyone else have to escape from the second story window? Couldn't they all have gone down the stairs and out the front door? I guess it's supposed to add to the drama and Jack's heroics.  [/quote]

I agree. Where was the fire truck? Where was the ambulance? Why was Rebecca talking about driving Jack to the ER herself? Would Jack have lived with better medical care?[/quote]

Have you seen a house engulfed in fire? It happens really quickly and that is why they tell everyone seconds count and to have a plan.

PP here.  Of course it happens quickly, but we are talking about enough time for the entire house to go up in flames, for the family to all gather in the bedroom (Jack retrieved each kid separately, remember), for all of them to escape, AND for Jack to go back in, get the dog, collect some things and come back out.  How long would all of that take? 10 minutes? 15? [/quote]

I was wondering where the fire trucks were, too. There were definitely siren sounds as they were standing in the front yard, though.[/quote]

I was wondering why Rebecca didn’t call 911 before even getting dressed.  And I also wondered why on earth the ambulance didn’t take Jack to the hospital.[/quote]
I missed that anyone called 911. Who/when was it?[/quote]

None of the Pearsons did, so it must have been a neighbor.  That would have been the first thing I'd do![/quote]
