Re: Series disappointments

I think my biggest issue with the whole bunker thing was: Arcadia already has a dangerously small and inbred genetic pool from all their time in space and small population. Locking out the grounders and having them be the *only* people left is just a bad idea, procreation wise. And they *are* going to procreate. But pretty soon everybody will be related to everybody.

They need the grounders not only for their genes, but for surviving on the ground once the radiation is gone. They're space idiots, basically. Sure, they can grow something in a hydroponics lab, but out in the ground? They know shit. They know nothing about diseases on the ground, about animals, about weather - they just don't have a clue. And they have no ability to manufacture stuff if everything's toast in a radiation hell.

Mostly, i just really disliked the whole 'we're special, we can do this and that, they can't, so we get the bunker!!' Uh, no, you're *not* special, and the grounders deserve to live, too. They choose their people to go into the bunker and their people to die. Nothing makes the space people so special that they can't do that, too.

And yeah - stupid choice by the writers to drum up drama we didn't need (and that could have been found elsewhere). Mostly, the whole 'space people are better than savage grounders!!' shtick is getting really old, smacking of colonialism and racism and just downright idiocy. Since they landed, the spacers have been getting people killed for no good reason, left and right, and that anyone would consider them 'superior' in any way at this point is ridiculous.

Jasper/Monty 4EVAH!! I'm going to go look for fix-it fic on AO3. :)
