This thread is about assuming that her body is indeed expanding.

Once again, with that assumption, what would be a realistic cause for her body to expand rapidly like that?

Has there ever been documented evidence of such a thing occurring in real life?

I know I've seen a MythBusters episode where they disproved pop rocks and cola or mento's and cola in making you explode.

Obviously it'd take something pretty drastic. I'm just thinking if we can "expand" (har har) on the idea of what could make her blow up like that, maybe we'll be closer to figuring out what the hell is going on.


Yes , a Mythbusters reference; youre my new hero Iconsumer. One of my favorite show, yea yea, i am a total science geek, especially when its put into a fun format like that show Very Happy

bloated girl silhouette sequence


let me get this straight... this girl is expanding, she was bleeding from the eyes nose and mouth and there's a giant monster that tore through town and you want a REALISTIC explaination?

Screen 6 gives us the most interference. In screen 7 all of a sudden she has a little bulge on her stomach. In all the previous screens she seems fine and slim. The bulge gets bigger first so it appears to expand around her waist first then inflates or fills up.

Could the hazmat guys put some sort of suit on her and filled it with a liquid or something. Maybe it is to keep her from rupturing or to contain whatever comes out.

Ah ha! Yes yes. See, this is what I'm talking about! :')

God knows why they'd have to put some kind of inflatable suit on her, but that definitely seems highly plausible if this movie is holding more towards a (ha ha) "normal" monster attack vs. people mutating, getting infected, etc. etc.

Thank you very much for that TVRotBrain!

I look at this picture and come up with a different but equally horrible scenario. I think the effect looks like she is being splay from the front. It does appear that what she might look like profile suddenly appears on both sides of her. Just a thought, too clean for the soldiers to do so I think Chest-Burster is most likely what is going on.

It's the same in both pictures.

i made a pretty nice slow motion video of the girl expanding. i'd also like to point out that it makes it really clear that the guys in hazmat suit are just holding her arms and taking her...um to the left of the shot. they dont hit her or anything.

I've been floatin around here for a little while (as in, a couple days)...
I know this "happy talk" quote was mentioned elsewhere, but the connection wasn't made. On the Slusho! website's Happy Talk page, one of the quotes is "I'm so happy and full of Slusho that I might burst."

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Godkin/?action=view&current=Slushocap.jpg

Now, I know that the woman who's "exploding" isn't exactly happy, but I wonder if the idea of bursting might be (subliminaly) related.

I don't think it's anything coming out of her chest, like in Alien, because, then, she wouldn't be expanding...there would just be something coming out of her chest.
I write, and I come up with numerous plot ideas (about 75 at the moment), and I always try to have a realistic basis, because that's what helps get the audience involved. With the handheld camera technique, and the focus on one group of people, it would appear that JJ Abrams wants that extra level of believability, so it makes sense that the "exploding woman" would be as based in reality as possible (that is, as possible as it is for a monster flick to be based in reality).
But, that being said, having her (Marlena, so it would seem) expand to the point of exploding seems cartoony to me.

That slow motion version was very entertaining.

I realize that our skin is pretty elastic but could it really do that? I think she would have sprung a leak way before she got that size. I think the HAZMAT guy on the left pulling away at the end was a nice touch.

I really doubt that's a jacket coming off like some people have said. With the two hazmat guys holding onto her and no free arms how exactly would that be achieved?
