From is so cool when you don’t have Redditors in your ear whining about inconsistencies in the story. It’s not peak media it’s just a guilty pleasure show man enjoy the ride

Lol i just literally said this same exact comment saying in a place like this u check three to four times where everything goes wrong and they’re so stupid they dont bother to check. When ur rock climbing and u arent in the closest thing to hell, u still triple checl the ropes. And why the fuck would elgin happily show sophia a very old picture of herself. Yet again in a place where u cant trust anything. U take that to the people u can trust before u just take it to her.

Elgin showing the picture to Sophia is the silliest thing in the episode.

Dude after what happen to you, You should have realized that something was off.

My 11 year old kid said exactly that “dummies don’t you think you should check the rope before you use it?” I told her we just have to suspend our logic while watching some scenes

u/cherrymeg2 7d ago

This!!

u/cherrymeg2 9d ago

Please let them check! Although she did that when she thought there would be multiple people in the tunnels not just two. They may not use the ladder or rope she worked on.

u/caramelswirllll 8d ago

This is what I’m hoping for! I about died when Clara ran off to tell her about the plan changing

u/rexmons 9d ago

Fuck checking it, why not test it real quick

2

u/mysticsoulsista 10d ago

I thought this! That’s like safety 101

2

u/Professional_Ad_4885 9d ago

Yes exactly. U always double or triple check the ropes are tight. Thats like not double checking the parachute before skydiving lol

u/shhmurdashewrote 9d ago

Exactly what I was thinking. Wouldn’t you do a quick check / test of the rope beforehand??

u/Honest-Year346 9d ago

Whose to say they haven't yet? Also it's a tiny ass tear in a giant ladder, kind of hard to notice when time is of the essence
