The fear of radiation is real, but I don't think that's at the top of their list of things to deal with. They have so much to worry about as it is and so far the only environmental worry has been the acid fog.

Yeah, but not even being given one single frakkin' Geiger counter? Sodium iodide pills? Or even the kids themselves going "Hey, we're landing on a planet we've been told was an irradiated wasteland, let's maybe not drink the water just yet?"

They even see the mutated deer and that still doesn't seem to clue a lot of them in.

I know nothing about this show, but it seems that programs and movies in general are very bad about addressing radiation when it would really be a problem. It turned away or treated as if you just inject yourself with something, then you'll be fine.

So I think this may be a blind spot in the general media.

I don't think it's so much that they're not worried, it's that it's one thing (or one of the things) that they can't do anything about. They have to be there and they have to drink water and eat (presumably? I don't remember if we ever saw them eating anything from the ground or if they have food on the ship) or they'll die anyway. It's not like they can just up and leave.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

As I said above, not being issued (or even asking if they have) a Geiger counter is a little unbelievable.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

DA

They were supposed to be landing near a bunker, which I assume was supposed to have all that kind of stuff. Given that most of them didn't think finding that bunker was all that important, I think expecting them to ask about Geiger counters is way overestimating them.

Re: OP

(Another) DA

Would the Ark have even had a Geiger counter to give them? Those stations were orbiting before the nuclear war.

And, really, the way I see it is that they all pretty much expected to die at 18 anyway, so they likely viewed Earth as a different sort of death sentence, and are too relieved to have not died instantly to care if they're going to die soon/in 60+ years.

TL;DR they seem to have a hell of a lot of other more pressing matters to attend to than the potential for dying sometime down the road.

[(Anonymous)]

They have no fear of radiation, but they also have no fear of starvation or lack of shelter or anything else.
