literally what is the benefit of the show getting darker

you know what would be awesome for s4 that i can’t stop thinking and screaming about? EXODUS SEASON

delinquents and a handful of adults, striking out on their own, maybe going west or to try to find other stations or just to start fresh somewhere else, exploring the world and the beauty of earth, as they were once promised

no super divergent or isolated storylines, everyone is in geographic proximity at all times… teamwork, healing, traveling, facing new challenges. they can still do danger and darkness, as they work against nature and come across small grounder settlements, far from the polis/tondc level civilizations… it can still be bloody as confrontations go south, as flu comes for them, as weather and building accidents come up as they try to create something good

the villains of the season are the weather, nature, lack of skill with architecture, diplomacy, and the issues they’re still trying to work through

the goal they work toward is healing and building a home… character focused, true to their relationships, working on those dynamics.
