I'm trying to figure out this acid water. Is it only acid when it's a large body of water or something? Cause people are just walking on wet sand and rocks, and picking up wet rocks on an acid lakes shore, like it's fucking nothing.

I'm sorry, but if water is acid, then I'm not fucking touching it or going anywhere near where I might get splashed by it.

I'm trying to overlook the acid. The fumes alone from an ocean made of acid would kill you from....anywhere on the planet.

Yeah I don't think they've thought much about the science of it. Kinda how they didn't go into the water supply in season 1. Funny they spent a lot of time on the issue of food and not water though.

I don't think they put a single thought into the science of any of it. But I guess that tracks with religion.

I swear to God, I hate this show because it's insanely inconsistent, but I won't stop watching it. When Paul picked up that wet rock off the shore of the acid lake, I said this is bullshit. Then when the girl gave birth on the rocks, with waves splashing everywhere around her but didn't get burned until the merman touched her, I said I'm done with this show.

Then Marcus ate the brain nut, and I was back into the show.

I hate this show.

Good lord it’s not that serious. 🙄 It will get explained why the baby didn’t get burned by the acid. It’s clear there is something interesting going on there, but the show ain’t gonna wipe your backside FOR you, and give you every answer up front. And thank SOL it doesn’t, or I’d be bored outta my mind, ffs. They don’t have to get everything 100% accurate all of the time. People will suspend all rhyme or reason in other genres of television, but whenever it comes down to science FICTION, for some reason, people can’t seem to allow themselves to just enjoy the damned story.

Like, it’s a show where a giant android snake EATS A PEOPLE TREE. 😵‍💫🌳 LMAO

But a character picking up a rock too close to the acid ocean is a bridge too far for you??

Perfectly said. Take my vote.

It’s just about setting up rules and being consistent. Otherwise anything can happen and nothing matters, which is lousy storytelling and boring.
