Not a clue.....
I just wondered if they were trying to link it to an actual historical plane crash, but I couldn't find anything from 2004-2006 "in the mountains"-enough to qualify.

Nailed it, and from an FX perspective, depending on what they intend to do, his series besides the Defenders (Doctor Strange cameo at least!!!) ought to be the most expensive.
Oh Sweet Christmas, yes.
I haven't watched this, but I kind of hope that Luke Cage and Iron Fist aren't the super dour affairs that are Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
Honestly, I don't mind it for those characters. It fits perfectly for Jessica Jones, and Daredevil is a flexible enough character for a darker mood to work.
I think the tone is fine for these street level characters.
I liked Daredevil, and the tone fits that kind of show. I just don't want that for Power Man and Iron Fist, especially with a Punisher series coming in a couple of years.
Yeah, that was a great little callback.
The trailer feels somewhat serious, but not in the same vein as Jones and Daredevil did. This one feels much more hero-y in Cage's origin and what/who he's protecting, as opposed to Jones focusing on saving herself and Daredevil's dealing with Kingpin/The Hand/etc.
So does the entire show happen pre-Jessica Jones? Because with the news crew, it feels like Luke Cage would be a known deal already if that was the case.
Yeah, that too. Marvel is too good about continuity to just ignore that kind of stuff and I'm sure if Claire had met a guy with unbreakable skin before, she'd remember.
That is cool.... but on yet another streaming service.... sadly one I don't subscribe too.
Same; that's great and all, but I'll have to miss it.
FTFY
I doubt I'll be able to catch the show, but I'm really diggin' the cinematography.

Over the last few years, some of the networks (NBC, Fox, ABC) have been increasing their stake in Hulu, presumably so they can exert more influence over it. As a result, the free service died (spun off to Yahoo!, which has been bought by Verizon), and they're going to be adding live streaming programming (i.e., "cable") next year.
So yeah, in other words, instead of being any kind of competition with the established networks, it has been assimilated by them.

NBC is a silent partner because of the purchase by Comcast. It's hard to say that they were ever going to be competition to the established networks since they were founded and owned by them from the beginning.
It's what sucks the most about cable.
Even Pornhub Premium still has crappy "Now! Free! Near you!" ads alongside their videos.
...I've been told.

So, you still got cable, man?
I pay for Amazon Prime and Netflix.
No ads.
Hulu is bullshit.
