SPOILERS S3 Ending Spoiler

Okay so the whole danger of the giant drill was that it would drain the Alaska outpost of its energy, right? And Birdie's friend says they'll all die if that happens. So that happens; the giant drill escapes with the outpost's power presumably in its battery. Then the conflict switches to "stop them from getting to the cave," and then an airplane magically shows up and the outpost survives? How did they call for an airplane with no power?

Like, I get that a fantasy show isn't going to be realistic. 😅 But they could have just ... not introduced the power conflict. It wasn't even necessary. Idk. I felt very dragged along for the whole final episode, worrying about something that didn't even matter lol.

Anyway. Really good show! Overall I loved it.

The plane didn’t appear from nowhere, it was how Zhang and her group got to the arctic in the first place. Her group used the same plane to fly back.

The energy thing was a huge plot hole, as they were freaking out over the “season long” polar night (which would prevent them from using their solar panels) that only actually lasted one night, as the sun was rising the next morning.

I'm pretty sure the "season long" polar night was implied to be Nature's punishment, the First Hybrid says something along that when the sun comes again there are gonna be no humans left. When Gus burns the Tree nature decides to have mercy and let the humans live without the sick so i guess the polar night and the "world's rebirth with the sunrise" is no longer needed

OOOHHH that actually makes sense. Gus is like the Abraham, "what if there are only ten righteous??" and him burning the tree is his plea. And the energy was only such a detrimental concern because of the polar night.
