Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!
I don't think there's a contradiction in what everyone's saying, just that Faraday is (was) so much smarter than everyone else, well at least when it came to quantum theory! The general assumption is that nothing can be changed; what's happened, happened, and will always happen. However, if Faraday has a theory that this is wrong then maybe there is a chance. What the consequences of this are are unknown. When he first mentioned variables and said that there was a chance they could stop all of it ever happening, that was the first time I saw light at the end of the tunnel for the program. The best ending I could hope for in that instance is that they stop the plane from crashing and we get a final episode which ends with no-one knowing each other and all the people that perished walking about like nothing happened.... but all with a strange deja vu-like feeling. The twist could be that an entirely separate disaster happens and they're thrown together again, destined to 'fix' time in various parallel universes forever. Or something. End Spoiler Alert!
