whipscars and breasts


Just curious about this. Not sure if it is a spoiler or a plot point. Kate has her breasts removed due to cancer but we see that these have been restored and the cancer is gone. No scars or anything remain. John Doe on the other hand has scars covering his back and one on his face. He also has that funky whistle too and was buried in an unmarked and shallow grave so that sets him aside from the others... thoughts?

The other girl had that cut on her leg.. which wasn't healed or cured (only on episode 4)....

I Sympathise with Lars Von Trier.

reply

I assumed that the cut on her leg was due to her climbing out of her grave. It wasn't something she died with so it's not like his scars or her breasts. The doctor injected Vic with something before the surgery, it accelerated his healing. This is when we learnt she was involved in the whole resurection thing.

reply

I thought Vic healed fast due to his other worldly traits.

reply

Wouldn't be that because the gash on his head didn't heal for his entire storyline.

reply

She cut her leg coming out of her grave.

reply

She cut herself on something as she was climbing out of the grave. We heard her scream and saw her grab her leg.

reply

She did that while climbing out of her grave. You hear the sound of tearing flesh and she screams.

Wasn't Kirstie's leg injury a bite mark? They zoomed in a few times and the injury looked like teeth indentations. I'll have to re-watch the episode I saw it in, maybe they were two different injuries or something.

reply

It looked like a bite mark, but no one ever mentioned it other than whether it was healing or not. Then, once it did heal, it's never mentioned again.

reply

Agreed, it looked like a bite but was never mentioned again after it healed.

reply

It definitely looked like half of a set of mandibles.

reply

No. She cut her leg on something -- we don't really see what -- as she's climbing out of the grave. She screams and grabs her leg and we see blood.

reply

No, it wasn't. She cut her leg when she climbed out of the grave. What you see as "teeth marks" are between the stitches.

I think it was a "bite mark" (of some sort), also. But, it was never explained ...

reply

Yes, it is. It's in the first scenes of the first episode. She cuts her leg while coming out of the grave. She screams and grabs her leg and we see blood.

reply

She cuts her leg while coming out of the grave
I'm going to say she was bit while coming out of the grave.

reply

You can say it -- or you can go back and watch it again.

reply

Or you can go watch it again and notice the wound is a bite mark. Yes, something happened when she was crawling out of the grave, but you can't tell whether it was a cut or a bite. It happens too fast and you can't see anything. If it's not a bite, then do you mind explaining what kind of instrument would cause a wound that looks exactly like bite marks?

reply

No, it is NOT a bite mark. It's a cut. It doesn't look like a bite mark at all. As a bite mark would leave impressions from the other half of the jaw as well. She ripped her leg open climbing out of her grave. Simple as.

Nothing bit her. She scraped her leg on something.

It's not.

I presume the difference is one was a disease and one was man inflicted. Diseases might be cured, but injuries not.

reply

For nothing but the sheer sake of argument, the mastectomy was man-inflicted -- though perhaps breast tissue may have grown back (and I'm iffy on that), I wouldn't think that surgery scars would be any different than whip scars.

And yes, I'm reading way too much into a TV show and nit-picking it to death. I'm going to chalk it up to a logical oopsie. :-)

reply

The difference should be obvious. The cancer is what killed Kate(and caused her to need her breasts removed). The whipping did not kill John.

reply

I think we should give Kate a breast examination to make sure they grown back fully 

reply

Don't be creepy.

reply

Well, Kate's mastectomy is a part of the cancer that killed her and it appears everyone's death wounds were removed, while other older scars remained.

The mastectomy scars being gone show that Kate is not only alive again, but in perfect health. Whereas John Doe's scars appear to be identifiers of his past life which no one seems to know about.

reply

when Kate was looking at herself in the mirror, the scars were visible in the reflection. I am not sure if that is supposed to mean something, or if it was symbolic of her memories.

That was a memory.

it's a hole in the plot, the writers forgot about it

reply

It isn't at all. You fail at writing analysis.
