On the other hand, despite Dottie’s handling of the Milk Trials, which seemed very professional and made her seem like one of the leading lights of the paper, her behavior of late has been far less incisive and far more biased and rabble-rousing. In hindsight, one has to wonder about her tremendous behavioral shift during the more racial elements in the recent plot.
Did she drink the Kool-Aid? Or does she just like bacon in the morning?
And is she going to be a professional now, given a second chance (something which Endtown is notoriously unlikely to offer)?
That isn’t a Walking Dead ref…Or the Walking Dead were referencing something as well. You have to either be old, an AvGeek, or both. In 1996, Valujet Flight 592 was a DC-9 out of Miami which crashed into the Everglades a few minutes after takeoff with the loss of all on board. Several television news channels and papers reported it as 492, which caused some panic and confusion among relatives of passengers on board the (perfectly fine) Flight 492. If you google “Flight 492” and “everglades” you’ll see both numbers come up in articles for the same crash.
It’s foreshadowing that they’ve got too much calcium in their water.
