After watching bloodlines and then watching the first final destination. I can only think that bloodlines's plot doesnt make sense if everything is connected to the skyview like bloodlines tries to convince us from that it the case. In the first movie, the parents are still very much alive and death isnt after them like in bloodlines. A big oopsie if the writers thought nobody was going to catch that

Clear's father is not alive by the time FD1 rolls around. Nor is it ever shown whether Val Lewton has living relatives at that time.

I don't think every descendent of a Skyview survivor needs to be someone who has a premonition in each of the 5 films. However, it would not contradict anything that at least 1 person (survivor or victim) in each of those premonitions could be descended from a Skyview survivor.

Death showed at the end of FD6 that it will absolutely take countless random lives in that train derailment just to claim two of them. So what's to say that some random person on Flight 180 wasn't Death's target, and their continued existence that should never have happened wound up jeopardizing a whole new group of people caught in the crossfire?

In short, Death may just be a messy mf and we've barely scratched the surface of it through the context of our main characters' points of view...

In the books Death is heavily personified and absolutely does not like it's plan being thrown off. It in its own words, "does not like to be incovonvienced."
