Quick question: I’m having difficulty wrapping my head around the time frame of this show.

So at one point was EVERYBODY frozen for 2000 years? Then I assume some were woke up via an automated system?

Yeah, the founders went to sleep last and woke up first.

Actually, she got chomped/clawed by an Abbie but the end result is the same. 😉

I agree. Nothing the leaders do make any sense. Life is precious, but anyone who breaks the tiniest rule must be executed?

And apparently they’ve been having food shortages, so how are they going to feed all those babies?

And where the hell is all the wine that Doctor Dude and wifey are always drinking coming from? Is there a hidden vineyard, or did whats-his-name and his sister stash tons of bottles of Chardonnay along with everything else?

There’s a food shortage but they have plenty of fudge, ice cream, beer, liquor and wine.  
I almost laughed out loud at the scene with Hassler sitting on the bench in front of the Pilcher statue chugging a bottle of liquor.

I think the writers are trolling us.
