Yes, this bugs me too. No elections? Military rule? Maybe there's an explanation for it that we haven't heard yet. But in the meantime it's really weird.- A dictator who rules over ALL. With the military to back him up.
- He is both judge and jury.
- He has no problem with torture.
- He has no problem killing those who oppose his views.
- He either bribes, intimidates, or both to cover up his actions.
- He has no problem planting evidence against innocent people who might expose him*.
- He is appointed for life, it seems. There is no voting. People should do their job and just be happy.
- He speaks to the masses as the father figure who is tough but with a kind heart (every press secretary of a dictator's wet dream, basically).
Taylor told the doc that they would release the dragonfly when everyone was at the festival. This implies there was some passage of time between formulating the plan and the actual release. Plenty of time for Taylor to set up a transmitter in the Shannon home.How did he know what evidence to plant BEFORE the scientist told him about the frequency and that he fixed the dragonfly? Is it continuity error or did he already know all these facts and is "in" on the conspiracy?
They gave the impression that the plan wasn't to just use some resources, but come and strip mine the planet. Given that the future Earth also had pollution issues, it's not hard to imagine that they'd also pump waste back.It looks like I'm on the sixers' side here. Taylor and his crew appear to be willing to let the Earth they came from -- with however many billions alive there -- be destroyed because they are too selfish to allow resources from the past be used to save it.
This.It looks like I'm on the sixers' side here.
Yes children. We must praise the dear leader!This.
Also, how creepy is it that the kids are doing hero-worship plays about Taylor while he's still alive and in power?
Nice to finally know what's going on, anyway. I didn't expect it to come out all at once like that.
They're not praising the leader! They're praising the origins of the colony!Yes children. We must praise the dear leader!
I figured the military rule was supposed to be temporary until the colony was established, though that's just my interpretation.Yes, this bugs me too. No elections? Military rule? Maybe there's an explanation for it that we haven't heard yet. But in the meantime it's really weird.
Considering they are only doing 13 shows this season and next year is a big maybe, I don't think they are going to have the time to be too layered.I hope the conflict isn't as simple as what he have been told so far. I assume there are going to be a lot more layers to the story than that.
True. I guess I should amend my post to say that I hope that was their plan!Considering they are only doing 13 shows this season and next year is a big maybe, I don't think they are going to have the time to be too layered.
