But the babies born inside who won't have been exposed to any radiation whatsoever will not have the same tolerance to radiation since, genetic disposition or not, their systems have never experienced it. Any babies that spent their formative years isolated inside the bunker would be overwhelmed as soon as they're…

No, the deathwave is only survivable if you're completely airtight so that no radiation can enter. That's why they spent so much time trying to patch up the ark to make it radiation-proof like it was in space. They have said on more than one occasion that this is going to be exponentially worse than Praimfaya, and is…

As depressed as Martha is at this point, I doubt that decorating is at the top of her priority list.

Yeah, that's what depression does to a person.

But it's also possible that she hasn't decorated or done anything to it because she's depressed. When you're in a depression as deep as the one she's in, the last thing in the world you give a shit about is decorating.

Oh yeah, no, the science is shit. I'm just going by the "facts" as we've been given them in the show.

Really good catch! I totally missed that.

Or if not as a merc on the ground, as someone stationed at a base, etc. I feel like they'd keep him on in a position that's a lot less lethal to his squishy human body.

Margarita with gold tequila?

But we also don't know the effects of long-term zombism yet… they may HAVE to be cured because xyz.

Natalie knows about the cure too.

I snorted so loud at this that I woke my husband up.

That was my biggest laugh of the ep by far XD

Wow.

With regard to this episode in particular, I couldn't agree more. I preferred the Hot Mess to the Preschool Teacher, and that's saying something!

According to ALIE, the earth will be uninhabitable. If there were places that they could survive, wouldn't ALIE have sent them there instead of bothering with the whole City of Light thing?

They could only survive in airtight bunkers that don't let any radiation (i.e. outside air) whatsoever in. Like the Mountain Men, basically. Caves would not cut it for the deathwave, the current level of radiation, or the high level of radiation that will follow. If there were *any* other places that they could ride…

Yeah, but being trapped in that bunker together with nothing much else to do is going to make the place an all-out-humpathon. There's a reason why there's always a sharp increase in the birth rate 9 months after a blizzard or massive blackout (like the one in NYC in 2003). And that still doesn't solve the problem of…

Ah, do they? I remember that there was a one-child-only policy, but I don't remember the mandatory shot. That's what they'd *have* to do.
