My bad! You’re correct.

I imagine it limits their ability to find the ocean. They also sense and use the Earth’s magnetic fields to know which direction to go in. I believe this also helps them find the sea. My understanding is that light is one of many queues they use to find the ocean. That being said, I’m no expert.

They use the reflection of the moonlight on the water, not the moon itself.

Yes, and unfortunately ones born on beaches near the city tend to have worse survivability. Since they mistake the city’s artificial light for the moonlight (which they use to navigate toward the ocean), they end going wrong the way and end up in storm drains, incoming traffic, or worse :(

Yeah, the mixed reactions I saw were from scanning IMDB reviews, but I know that you have to take those with a grain of salt sometimes.

I was glad to hear it was more grounded and nuanced. How does that make everything I posted bullshit? I’m confused.

Thanks for the detailed answer. I can understand why some people may miss having a character that’s easy to root for, but as long as this characters are interesting (which it sounds like they are) then I can enjoy the show.

I saw that. I just wanted to avoid spoilers from the larger threads.

That’s really good to hear. That sounds like more of what I was hoping it would turn out to be.

Good to hear that you are liking HoD! I just watched GoT all the way through for the first time this year. The first 4 season were some of the best TV I’ve seen. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
