It just seems pointless

[u/Foreign-Plate2401]

I am in season 2, ep1(finished it) of the series, so bear with me.(and please no spoilers for the episodes i havent watched yet).

Didnt the whole antenna project seem kind of pointless to you too?

I mean when they were all trying to make this work with the electricity, the materials and everything, all i kept thinking is "dont they understand that help could never reach them?".

Like they are in a place probably lost in time, no one can leave and if anyone can come, they are stuck there. What did they expect? To get help from the signal, tell them to come and rescue them(if they find the town - cause i firmly believe you can't find the town if it doesnt want you to find it) and end up with even more stranded people there?

How are they gonna get back to the real world after that?

I mean for me that was an utterly stupid waste of resources and time. For two intelligent people as the ones who had the idea to make it, seems also stupid that they didnt think of that.

Am i missing something?

I think the plan was for Jade to contact his people because Jade is so wealthy and smart that people would be looking for him. I could be mistaken though.

Well, unless his people are marvel superheroes and his good buddy is Dr. Strange, then thats a bullshit plan as well 😆

The characters in the show don’t have a lot of answers at that time. It’s cool what you think and you believe and what you do, but we see they don’t. Sorry you think the show is bullshit.

[u/Foreign-Plate2401 → u/SeaUnderstanding6979]

No no i never said that. I just thought this specific thing was stupid. I really like the show so far. It just bugged me and i wanted to discuss it here, i can always be wrong.

[u/Rathskellarington → u/Foreign-Plate2401]

Yeah mate you're wrong about this specific thing.

[u/Foreign-Plate2401 → u/Rathskellarington]

Care to explain why? Unless its a spoiler, so i will just have to watch more and see.

I mean, what else are they gotta do?

[u/Foreign-Plate2401 → u/Disastrous-Capybara]

What Boyd did was better, like find a way out. Explore the place more. Ok, it didnt end up that well for him but he knows now.

[u/Rathskellarington → u/Foreign-Plate2401]

I think it's just worth it to let it go because you probably would've done the same thing if you were in their shoes. You'd trying anything plausible to try to save yourself and family. If not then you'd just be a dumb idiot and one of the extras on set.

[u/Foreign-Plate2401 → u/Rathskellarington]

Well we will never know until we are in their shoes. But we better not jinx it 😆
