97 years...

I love so much about this show, but I just really can't get over that it's only 97 years in the future. I met my great grandpa, who was 97 years older than me. I can't believe that in one of his lifetimes, the entire world decides to speak some random girls made up language, and English is only for warriors, especially if it seems pretty clear that everyone is just from the US already, most likely speaking English. I just don't buy it. If you told me the ark spoke some Esperanto, after the stations of 12 different nations came together, sure, I'd buy it. But people that all spoke the same language, just decided to all speak a different language? I don't buy it. Or that speaking the lineage would be the ultimate proof of being Heda, when it's only 97 years worth of leaders, and it's not a position that changes yearly. If they had set this 197 years in the future, I'd buy it, but 97? Is it just me?
