Finally the cars are breaking down, maybe this new high tech place will offer a new beginning for them. Dosen't look like there's people or cars around, maybe they have to start growing food and planning a little a head for a start?
shareI was hoping they'd head to Las Vegas.
shareReally? It's about 300 miles from Malibu to Las Vegas, through a desert. They had a hard enough time getting from Malibu to San Francisco.
As that great philosopher Bugs Bunny said, "Something tells me I shoulda stood in bed."
It's down to cost/and feasibility. They aren't going to film anywhere besides California as a main location (example they weren't actually filming in Arizona in the first season), and they can't fake the setting of Florida while in California. Also not Napa Valley because it would be a similar mansion most likely and be too similar to the one they've been living in while in Malibu.
That's why they use this kind of building, an office building/medical/lab? as a different setting, where they can stay for awhile, because it's less cost to film in one location, even over them driving around.
^^ THIS. As much as I like the idea of the gang hitting the road and changing locations, it's not really sustainable given all the digital effects and post-production involved.

It's down to cost/and feasibility.I grant you that, but I was talking about the logistics of the story and not the production.
I love that it was like Shangri-la to them. The office building is clearly a solar state of the art facility. Great twist to the search for the perfect home.
shareI think it's pretty cool -- a bit of an interesting departure from, say, lounging around various mansions. (Whether they'll stay there the rest of the season or end up having to move again soon remains to be seen...)
