Yes, of course, you're right. No halves involved because there is no natural parent in common.

It's been a long time since I had a zippo but I have a feeling they get quite warm if you lave them burning. Might be wrong though.

Ad why didn't anyone just blow the thing out or smash his hand away?

Ha ha, yea that's what i thought, room full of adults and not one person made a draught (orally or some other way) then pounce on him.
I mean come on, Ben the Unterrified could have scare him away, maybe by saying "Boo"!!!!

Yes! I think I have pent up anger issues from watching this sort of scene as I am itching for one of them to punch his lights quite literally out! :)

Zippos are well known to "windproof" and hard to extinguish by blowing on the flame. It's possible of course, but any wrong move could have resulted in the lighter ending up in a box of explosives - exactly what they were so desperate to avoid!

The police don't try to tackle someone with their finger on a trigger for the same reason. They try to talk them around and any other measures are only taken when that's failed.

Gavin might not be physically menacing but people who are totally ruthless are scary because they don't have a line they won't cross. Kathy and Ben were completely convinced Gavin would blow them all up without a second thought. No doubt that's a terrifying situation to be in and one in which it's impossible to think clearly.

Yes, a more evil version of him. Seeing as they probably grew up together it's quite realistic really.

I agree Dazzle. I didn't think it was unrealistic at all that they didn't try and blow out the flame or overpower Gavin. He was already talking of blowing himself up with the rest of them and it would only have taken a millisecond to drop the Zippo into the box. If I was there I certainly wouldn't have gone for him in any way.

Did Sharon's brain disappear half way through the episode, because I swear it disappeared towards the end...

What brain's that then?

I liked the scenes of Sharon and Gavin

Were Den and Eric Mitchell friends too?
