![]() ![]() The questions of destiny, free will and morality contained within Flight 828’s black box also fuel what is perhaps the show’s most urgent burning question. Just how well do these two know each other? We put these BFFs to the test. And they’re all right there in that black box. It’s our agency and every episode of Manifest is just allowing our agency to play out, and being given a second chance to make different decisions. “Maybe the divine is just the keeper of those opportunities. “Maybe the divine has nothing to do with it,” he continues. To have done the right thing versus the wrong thing, made the right choice versus the wrong thing.” “And they’re all right here contained, infinite stories, infinite opportunities, to have chosen to go left instead of right. “Was it our choice, was it the divine’s choice?” he asks. To Rake, that deepens the show’s themes of chance and fate. The vagueness of the callings, and their openness to interpretation, means that the 828s may have misunderstood them at times. And each one of those callings is its own story.” And what I like about that –– and what’s so mesmerized me as a storyteller, but also just as someone who loves to listen to a good story –– was the concept that 191 lifetimes could be contained within this one box. “It effectively memorialized every single - whether you call it a miracle or memory or a divinely infused moment. If that is true, it could make sense the black box “was the keeper of it all,” Rake allows. Some 828ers now theorize that callings are actually memories, not premonitions - “Given all that they understand right now, it’s a very viable ,” Rake previously told Tudum - and that the plane spent time in the divine consciousness. “Obviously not a sentient being, and yet bore witness to the miracle of the Manifest journey and encapsulated every one of our callings.” “We liked the idea that the black box was the keeper, the holder of all of our callings,” Rake shares. But the passengers are thrown when they realize that the flight recorder holds audio of the callings they’ve been receiving since they landed, five years after taking off. Why did Flight 828’s black box contain audio of the callings?Īnother key piece of the plane returns in Season 4: the doomed Flight 828’s black box. The actor-director tells us what to expect this season and gives the Manifestors a special shout out. “Specifically here, sapphire myths that we read about if there’s a billion people out there who believe in the myth of Noah, why can’t there be a billion people watching television who can believe in the myth of the sapphire? It’s going to remain quite important all the way to the end.” With that in his back pocket, “I got over and I thought, ‘Why can’t our mythological story be based, somewhat, in an actual precious stone?’” he recalls. And then, the more the writers’ room and I talked about it, we learned about how so much of ancient mythology is tied into the tangible, in actual objects, whether it be sapphire, or other precious metals in many of the great myths… I realized that it was no more unreal than many of the myths in the great world religions that billions of people subscribe to.” “I thought it was going to take the audience out of reality. “Initially, I was reluctant to make such a meal out of a tangible, precious stone,” he says. They’re deeply connected but on opposite ends.”Īs the series ramps up its end game, the importance of sapphire in the show’s lore will “remain and grow,” Rake reveals. They are the powerful ones, they have such an intricate connection to this magic, this mythology, and everything that’s going on they are two sides of the same coin. “As we get into the second half of Season 4, really become like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader - the same, but different. "She’s a sneaky one that Angelina, she’s tricky,” Doran says. By the climax of Season 4’s midseason finale, a shard of the stone is forged to her hand. After a shard of the Omega Sapphire is found, it’s quickly stolen by the manipulative Angelina (Holly Taylor), who uses it to summon false callings to Cal and others. A person in possession of the Omega Sapphire can create “callings” at will, which could be invaluable as the 828ers try to beat their expected 2024 death date. Season 4 reveals a sapphire compound on Cal’s (Ty Doran) skin.īut the real turning point may be the discovery of the Omega Sapphire, a more pure - and rare - version of the stone. As Saanvi (Parveen Kaur) investigates the mystery, she also learns of a sapphire-covered fragment from Noah’s Ark. Sapphire has been a key element since Season 3, when the recovered tail fin from Flight 828 was found to be studded with it. ![]()
