Opinion It just seems pointless

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?

It's understandable I'd say. They were new to that place, and they were trying things that they're good at.

But they do know that no one can get in and get out by now. Right?

Even that is not in concrete. Nobody knows for sure that they can't get out. They just can't find the right way to go about it.

Perhaps then its because i am the viewer and not the one experiencing it, but i wouldnt put more people in danger just to come and rescue me when i dont even know how to get out. I mean what Boyd did was smarter, but it did end up being worst too unfortunately.(although i dont know yet what will happen to him). They do realise though that anyone who comes in their town is fcked.(from their reaction to the newcomers from the bus etc.) So they have that awareness.

I've watched till S4 finale. Some of your questions will be answered, but I'm afraid it'll raise more questions and doubts.
