- GoofsAfter it starts to rain, Dr. Eric Jackson tells Abby that the 100's plasma osmolarity is going up across the board. Abby says this must mean they've found water. Increased plasma osmolarity would actually mean they were more dehydrated, decreased osmolarity indicates increased water consumption.

Featured review
Good plot, bad execution
The plot is very interesting imo, and I think the show still has potential after this episode. But man did I want to stop watching halfway through. The pacing is overly quick, meaning we hardly get to know any of these characters. Almost all of them fall into predictable stereotypes, and there is no real substance to any of them besides maybe Wells. The dialogue is really cringe, and the exposition is laughable. Instead of finding things out as we go along, people say things like "Octavia! The girl who spent 16 years hiding on the Ark". Nobody says things like that in real life, and it pulled me out of the scene. Then there's something like "We're back, b*****s!", which got my eyes rolling, and takes us out of the scene again, because that sounds like something a teen in the 2010s would say, not someone in the future. It's immersion breaking and simply bad writing. But overall, it was a cringe yet pretty fun episode that could lead to better things down the road.
