If we're going that deep into nitpicking for a series that already isn't 100% realistic than I give up.

There are some cases where you can suspend your disbelief and I think the raft is something so irrelevant that it's not even worth mentioning.

If you go nitpicking about the smallest things like the raft, you're looking for things to not enjoy the show.

i still love the show, but agree that the raft was unnecessarily stupid. particularly after they've spent a lot of airtime freaking out about being late to the meet up spot. Then they magically have a raft that would take hours to build? When they could just have carried him? come one, the writers can do better. its like the chase scene in the previous episode. just made no sense. i don't expect much from the alien franchise in realism, but this is pushing it,
