Something occured to me about the end-sequence of HL2.

Perhaps the expanding cloud is not actually a fireball from an explosion at all. Maybe we're only meant to think it is.

Perhaps instead it's basically an uncontrolled version of the portal that Dr. Breen was trying to go through and the gunships came out of. The one you could see the alien towers and sky through.

The reason this expanding portal could bring down the Citadel is not an explosive blast but parts of the building being sucked through the portal, enough that it might collapse.

It certainly can't be a nuclear blast as Alyx and Gordon would have been incinerated at that range from the white flash.

So I'm guessing Alyx and other characters might not be killed but simply sucked through the portal somewhere. And turn up again in HL3.

Just speculation. Not sure if I'm repeating something someone else has already suggested. :)
 
I dont actually think its that badder blast...its just the rebound from the portal because the beam was unshielded...

Also its not good because those 3 towers surrounding the reactor chamber, well one of them (the one ahead) is collapsing anyway..personally i dont think it will brign the citadel down but will blow the top of it straight off..not good for alyx, breen, eli and mossman however...
 
I feel like shoving a brick down somebody's throat if Alyx (& co) doesnt survive...

in that case, i'll gladly buy you all the bricks you need.
 
Alyx won't die... at least not now. She and Gordon will have a baby (or more) after HL3 and then she'll die :P

I liked the theory, probably it is just that. Since the citadels appeared "out of thin air", maybe they'll disappear the same way :D
 
youre all just saying that cos you wish she was real and she would be your girlfriend :laugh:
 
She is real and she is my girlfriend so there. She's a much better f~ck than Lara Croft
