[quote=innerSpaceman;344841]Yeah ...

Spoiler:
But, to me, that's less of a problem than him being able to send a text message from one particular alternate reality where the train explosion never happened and thus Source Code was never invoked ... to a completely different parallel universe where the Source Code was used, and thus Goodwin feels honor-bound to terminate his life-support. By the film's internal logic, he would only be able to text the Goodwin at the control center pre-Source Code, yet we see her receive the message in the post-Source Code control center.


Spoiler:
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you but his text message did not cross from one reality to another. It stayed in the new alternate reality where he saved everybody on the train.

She unplugged him in the first reality based solely on his request and their conversation, that her never saw a text message.
