This is an example of how to rate a show for its quality and entertainment value, and still acknowledge plot holes, inaccuracies, or lack of continuity.
It drives me crazy how reviewers rate a Series 1/10 because of fictional science, illogical scenarios, and especially medical/military inaccuracies. Sure there's something to be said for making a story realistic or fact based, but this is TELEVISION folks. It's Drama, it's Sci-Fi, it's fiction...it's pretend.
Sure, mention where the writers may have left loose ends or failed to be congruent, but tainting the whole imdb rating because you are offended by a plot hole, seems absurd and ignorant to me. Because it's fiction, how about just using your imagination to fill in the plot holes and make it work somehow. Choose to be positive instead of arrogant and negative.
For example, in this episode they say there are "thousands of Grounders out there". Well where did they come from ? I thought there were only a few hundred or so. And if so, why are they so afraid of the Mountain People ? Didn't President Wallace or the Dr. say there were only a total of like 400 @ Mt Weather ? (and many of them kids or non-combat). Doesn't quite make sense, does it ? The point is there can always be some unrevealed detail that provides an explanation. Unless you are watching a DOCUMENTARY or Docu-something television, it's mostly ridiculous to expect FICTION to be factually accurate or 100% realistic.
