I just watched the producers behind the scenes clip and one with Lexa and Clarke debating. It's not very convincing and personally I think it's getting predictable. Once more the mountain men stupidity gene is shown as affecting everyone inside the place.

1. Clarke and Lexa, what if turning off the power doesn't open the doors (it does and it will - foregone conclusion.)

2. Clarke and Lexa, what if Bellamy can't get to the acid fog machine (if he doesn't someone else will - foregone conclusion.)

3. Emerson and Cage (whose name happens to be the same as the things he is keeping people in) discuss the chances of the grounder army getting in. Clearly they will or those inside will break out - either way it's a foregone conclusion. Cage says the MM can just wait it out because they've been safe for 97 years and so no need to worry.

WTF! There are nigh on fifty people inside running around unaccounted for, someone has already turned the radiation filer off at least once, someone has been shooting guards and making them disappear, they've already lost at least twenty guards inside the place from the delinquents etc! I fail to see how Cage can't figure out that there's a major concern here, more from inside than outside, infact entirely from inside. So given that the writers are robbing him of any concept of an insider job despite the glaring and massive risk of it, it's from within that the danger is going to come. (it is and it will - foregone conclusion).

4. Bellamy emerges from a door and two soldiers point guns at him and shout for him to stop where he is. He then runs off. Clearly he will get away.

Realism alert:

a) Don't shout, shoot.

b) When he runs shoot him unless we are led to believe that he is now faster than a bullet. There was clearly plenty of chance to lob a few rounds in his direction and why not try anyway.

So once again the deck is stacked and the writers are not putting much effort into giving the MM a fighting chance. Might as well open the doors themselves. Besides which, the air pressure inside only needs to be cranked up a bit and the pressure higher inside than inside will force the air to constantly blow out and not in, thereby negating the radiation risk. Trust me, I have worked in such an environment that is intentionally pressured up to create a safe zone from fumes.
