Okay this season as been a stretch. One hell of a stretch. Every plan failed for some reason or another.

I've watched the last episode promo. And what do I see... Belamy saying something about 5 tough years. 5... Tough... Years. And when I thought this show couldn't get worse, they pull a 5 year timeline for what exactly...? For the Earth to become non-radioactive? Because last time I checked no enriched fissionable fuel, has such a low lifespan. The proof of that being the state of the art nuclear reactors that survived for decades. If the fuel in those reactors had such a low lifespan in terms of radioactivity, then these meltdowns would never have happened in the first place. So at best they should be looking at centuries inside a bunker.

But thanks to Octavia genius plan, now it seems that most of main cast will go into outerspace. To what remained of the old space station. The same space station they had to abandon in order to not die. True that before they had hundreds of people to keep alive. But let's not forget, that most of parts necessary to keep even this small group alive is no longer there. Or at least it shouldn't be.

There's also the question of how they'll get into outerspace in the first place. But I guess that doesn't matter also. With Raven brain upgrade followed by her badass insane downgrade, that should've killed her, I honestly reached a point where I can expect about anything from this show. Which isn't a testament to the quality of the show, if anything it's quite the contrary.

I was able to accept Revan excuse/explanation for the reactors to only meltdown now. That they had been built with the at the time best technology, and that they were self-sustaining to a certain degree, or something like that. But everything else was one bad decision after the other. If the producers had pushed this show into a wall with the ending of season 3, then these last episodes pushed this show into a hellfire abyss.

Does anyone even remotely sees a possibility for a season 5, that isn't borderline pure fantasy/nonsense?
