Well, then I am glad I did not try to get past the first couple episodes, as I would have been pissed.
Actually, to me that is not redemption at all, it is more of the same “we are gonna reward fans of the show with no clear ending” bullshit we had on Lost.
Not to mention, Earth 2 would be a catastrophe with only 2%. The power grid would fail, food production pipeline fail, the 2% would be reduced to a dystopia ala Walking Dead.
