I think Vansen had a half-chance of surviving but she refused to leave Damfus who was unconscious.
Exactly! She could have free-parachuted out or something, but you can't do that when you're unconscious. But you see, I thought she survived at first, like I really thought they'd go back and pick them up, so I only realised she an Damfus didn't make it when they were telling McQueen as he was about to be shipped back to Earth. Wong getting blown up was less hard to believe he survived. But, the whole show had been them surviving in places that no other team did, so I really hadn't expected such a sad ending. :(
And all through the season they built McQueen and Vansen up to be parental figures for Cooper and did it reasonably subtly for the show (It wasn't a real subtle show that way), just letting it be obvious without pointing it out too much, and then that final remark from Cooper is such a gut punch.
Sad, sad.
Anyhow, hope you're enjoying the other Newcastle. You know I talk to you on LJ more when you're overseas than when we're only a 3 hour drive away. I guess you get on the computer a bit more. :)
