Added DiffLines:
** Weir's name is also meaningful given his psychology and history. Weirs or low-head dams are extremely dangerous to swimmers and people in small watercraft as they produce a strong hydraulic circulation that will essentially entrap someone and drown them.[[note]]Weirs are frequently referred to as "drowning machines" by rescue services for their tendency to pull people and even kayaks and canoes under and not release them for minutes to hours.[[/note]] Given how trapped Weir is in his past and how he's still drowning in emotional trauma, it's a fitting name.

to:
** When Justin is ejected into outer space, his veins immediately start to burst and bleed heavily. This isn't very likely to happen in the short time that he is exposed to the vacuum of space. Parts of the body will probably start to bulge due to the lack of atmospheric pressure, and there will probably be some subcutaneous bleeding from ruptured blood vessels, but the human skin is thought to be resilient enough to stay intact. Also, the blood that leaves his body remains liquid; in reality, it would boil and evaporate instantly due to the lack of pressure. Not everything about the scene is unrealistic: the fact that he remained conscious is probably correct (most adults would remain conscious for 10-20 seconds), as well as the fact that he does not freeze (although deep space is extremely cold, the lack of gas molecules makes it difficult for body heat to leave the body).
