Thoughts? Looks like it can be good. I hope they don't pull some bullshit like they did in Flash Forward.

Fawn's thread doesn't count.

Damnit, I was going to make this post after mine picked up speed.

I think it looks pretty cool, but I hardly watch TV. If they complete a season I'll download it.

Wow, I cant believe they used that song, its super old but good. By V.A.S.T.

Wait, why do they need to use flint lock guns and bows...

I don't watch tv at all really, but this doesn't look half bad.

This is my main question. There should be more high-tech weapons. Pretty sure shotguns and .22's don't use electricity.

Yea but in 15 years of power struggles most ammo would be used up. You can make arrows.

They use flint lock rifles, making .22 is just as easy as making the balls.

Yeah, there are a LOT of plot holes in this series. I don't know if I'll be able to watch it.

This one is kind of random, but why are all of their clothes so nice? I'm pretty sure they don't have the technology to make them. There aren't many people in the US who can weave (other countries still use this as their primary way of clothing, but they cant weave so tightly and we wouldn't be able to reach them and it doesn't seem like they have built any trading system yet). I'm sure people would learn to make clothes, but they would look nothing like the ones we have today. Even if they did take really good care of them, their lifestyle wouldn't allow them to keep them perfectly. I'm sure there was a stockpile of clothes from like malls etc. But still that was 15 years ago and I'm sure everyone wouldn't have access to that.

Also, how do they all have swords? The art of blacksmithing isn't known to many people, and I doubt they all just figured out how to do it. I'm sure there would be a couple, but not THAT many. Do they all have a forge or something?

I'm sure eventually they could settle into a medieval like era, but not so quickly. Most people wouldn't have the resources or knowledge in order to farm properly and have enough food to survive or stockpile enough to last through even the first winter. (I assume they would have some canned goods through the first couple years.) Still, they would need to know how to smoke and salt meat and preserve other foods.

The list can go on and on.

Well some of that stuff is pretty easy to explain, clothes, any of the thousands of clothing shops abandoned. Swords/weapons, any of the thousands of weapon found in stores. Swords are pretty abundant in pawn shops and flea markets. I have an 8 inch medival style live dagger that rests next to my bed.
