History Recap / FatherTedS2E10FlightIntoTerror

* JustPlaneWrong: A lot! Nearly all because done for RuleOfFunny.

** While many types of plane actually ''do'' have systems for dumping their fuel mid-air in the event that they need to make an emergency landing, the process usually takes around 15 minutes and can be stopped at any time, precisely to prevent scenarios such as what Dougal causes in this episode. Additionally, the such systems are ''not'' controlled via a BigRedButton that anyone can press.

* JustPlaneWrong: A lot!

** This is explained in-story as Ted's natural reaction to how likely it is for the worst to happen: [[spoiler:When it looks like he's doomed, he has nothing left to ''worry'' about, and suddenly has NervesOfSteel. When the emergency is over, he completely loses his cool]].

Ted, Dougal and Jack are flying home from a pilgrimage with several other priests when it is discovered that the plane is about to crash (possibly connected to a visit Dougal made to the cockpit) and there are only two parachutes on board. Whilst everybody else is arguing as to why they should have a parachute, Jack leaps out of the plane with one 'chute for himself and the other for the drinks trolley. There is, however, one way to avert the crash and it is down to Ted, using one of the cheap souvenirs he bought at the pilgrimage, to put it into action and save the plane

** The doors on a passenger plane cannot possibly open in mid-air like they did in this episode, they aren't designed to do that. There is no way that Jack could have gotten out with the drinks tray then. This also means the scene where Ted climbs on the outside of the plane in mid-air is implausible.
* LargeHam: ''''DRIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNK!'''''

* TheUnintelligible: Father Fay's speech leaves everyone stunned -- despite it being absolute gibberish.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: With the plane about to crash, Jack promptly swipes the only two parachutes on board (one for himself, one for the drinks trolley) and promptly escapes.
* ShoutOut: Ted says he feels "fearless, like Creator/JeffBridges in that movie". Ted says that might be bad reference but the movie in question is real and indeed called ''Film/{{Fearless}}''.
* TheUnintelligible: Father Fay's speech leaves everyone stunned - despite it being absolute gibberish.

* ShoutOut: Ted says he feels "fearless, like Jeff Bridges in that movie". Ted says that might be bad reference but the movie in question is real and indeed called ''Fearless''.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: When it appears the flight is doomed, one priest declares his love for another priest.

* TheUnintelligible: Father Fay's speech leaves everyone stunned - despite it being absolute gibberish.

* InelegantBlubbering: Jack is reduced to this when he crashes into a tree following his escape from the plane...and the drinks trolley dangles from a branch just inches out of reach.

** The plane is a BAe 146 viewed from the outside, but the interior is of a much larger wide-body aircraft. Of course, the interior of a BAe 146 isn't nearly big enough for a soundstage.

* ShoutOut: Ted says he feels "fearless, like Jeff Bridges in that movie". The movie in question is called ''Fearless''.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: For some reason, the plane doesn't immediately depressurize when Father Jack opens one of the emergency doors to parachute out. There is also no mention of Father Ted being exposed to a slipstream when he has to make repairs on the wing while the plane is still thousands of feet in the air.
