kikismom September 16, 2014 Share September 16, 2014 (edited) I just started this because I don't want to hijack the other threads. But it had to be said---the "Utopians" were not chosen for suitability in starting a society; the producers picked archetypes that provide hooks for the show. We see the same mix over and again from reality to drama to sit-com. Personally, being a The Walking Dead fan, I'm getting an awful feeling of deja vu. Was Dave really Shane? Tempermental would-be leader of a mutiny? Or was Josh--works hard, could lead except when he has some wine and jumps a woman against her wishes. Red could be the lost, Dollar Store Dixon brother. Redneck who is adversarial to the group at first, but might redeem himself and be a huge asset. Knows recipes for squirrel. Is Amanda the Lori: pregnant shit-stirrer who likes watching others work? But Bri is a contender; not pregnant (yet) but massive blamer, troublemaker, too busy getting laid to take care of responsibilities. The preacher was Dale--giving talks about second chances and lofty ideals...and getting doomed for his troubles. How would the other roles be filled? Or do you see a resemblance to the Utopians in the characters of another show? Master Chef? The Simpsons? Or a movie: The Breakfast Club? (this is just for sh*ts and giggles.)
