But moments later, when Challenger, Roxton, and Marguerite appear on a British air station in 1915 -- on the same day the airship was launched on its final mission -- they realize they truly have taken the place of the captain's original crew. ''After two years of struggling to escape the Plateau, Challenger and his friends must now fight to return to it by once again taking flight on the doomed dirigible. At the same time, Veronica appears on the Plateau, and in a shocking confrontation with Captain Askwith, realizes she has her own mission to complete: pursue Askwith and somehow return him to his ship.moreless

  • Wow, what can be said on this episode after California Gal's amazing review? Apparently 150 things and more. I think what sets up this episode is how good Into the Fire was.moreless

    I kind of wish that the Season 3 cliffhanger had kept them all together instead of in their separate realities.
    The two episodes (Into/Out of) belonged together; they meshed so well. The music that they used for the air scenes was very exciting. Don't think I'd heard it before.
    I was very touched by the shooting of Marguerite, the quiet little 'John' before she and her maps hit the floor. I would have changed the next part though. I'd have had Roxton ignore the gun and go to her, heedlessly. They could have had Marchbanks slug him and the scene could have continued much as it did. And I really wish she'd smacked that weasely captain over the head with the ink bottle before he shot her.
    Veronica had some touching lines (and some serious running through the jungle). She was truly an avenging angel through out.
    Marguerite gets such great lines. What I found with both her and Roxton was that they were so quiet-spoken and there was so much else going on you had to concentrate or watch again to catch it all.
    I notice that no-one in this thread (I think) mentioned that two years from May 26, 1915, Churchill was going to present her with a medal.
    Churchill was well-portrayed. I liked his "Time has a way of running out."
    Did his "Tick.Tock" line remind anyone of the leader of the band of cut-throats in Resurrection?
    A very powerful image when Veronica lit the signal fires, almost like a children's story "One is for safety. Two is for luck. Three is so they just can't miss." Then she's filmed on the horizon through the distortion from the fire.
    Marguerite's hug for Challenger -such spontaneous caring; she has sure mellowed.
    I also hadn't realized that they were going to put out there in the first episode the concept that there was one solution for all the mysteries and all the people they met. A bold step into a season to remember. As Marguerite says as they take up the dirigible "It's time to fly."

    • Why does Veronica need to chase Askwith to get him back to the ship if he would just magically appear on it as soon as it arrives? Why not just let him run and he would end up on it anyway? Edit
