I’m so with Jacqui re the hover drone thing – apart from anything else they never seem to be the same size twice and if they really can detect individuals to kill from anywhere in the city, why have the police just not retired completely????
Plus I too thought the pulse had mostly hit the US – so escaping to Canada would be a fairly sensible thing to do – Plus I’m sure at some point someone says something about Europe intimating that its not so bad off – I’ll have to rewatch to check …
I kinda see it as American having become the equivalent of India in the 60s and 70s or various bits of South America today – with beaten up cars and no electricity etc … I always imagined the rest of the world watching and offering a bit of aid, which would be like a band aid to cover 80% burns and then gloating ever so slightly in a schadenfreude sorta way …
And yes the fact that its so believable (apart fromt eh genetic experiments and wierd lizard men bits) is what gives it its edge ...
Thinking aloud: Maybe that’s why the second series lost its way a bit … ‘cos introducing the snake cult and all those weird and wonderful hybrids just made to so much less believable … There’s only so much disbelief anyone of us can suspend at any one time …

Okay, I'm lost, I'm angry, and I'm
armed.

And how do you shield financial districts from emp?
And how do you know the terrorists didn't take over a base w/a launching system?
And how do you know it wasn't a cluster nuke that spread the emp over half the country?
And how do you know it wasn't financed by SPECTRE?
Your arguments are fallacious and hollow, my friend.
You are being a silly hump.

Quote:By spreading out of the system across the globe, which is quite common among major businesses and stock markets today.
And how do you shield financial districts from emp?
Quote:Without authorization by the executive branch the missiles will not fly. Every ICBM in the arsenals of the US and Russian (and probably French, the UK, PRC, India, Pakistan ETC) has a safety package that will destroy the missile unless it has proper launch authorization. This is what probably happened to the K-129. Of course you can try getting a group of your buddies together and invade King’s Bay to see how feasible it is.
And how do you know the terrorists didn't take over a base w/a launching system?
Quote:Uhhh do you know what a MIRV is? I mentioned them in my other post and it would require several missiles or one massive Saturn type rocket. And rockets don’t grow on trees, you can’t build one covertly and you need a small err make that large army to capture one.
And how do you know it wasn't a cluster nuke that spread the emp over half the country?
Quote:James Bond didn't stop it.
And how do you know it wasn't financed by SPECTRE?

I reply to this post 6 days after it first hit the board. Power has come on in down town New Orleans, almost a week faster than most expected. The French Quarter is looking to open this weekend, but I'd suspect on a much limited fashion. Point is, there's tons of stuff to do and months of repair work ahead, but look for most of the dire predictions about N.O. never rebuilding or it taking YEARS to recover to be greatly exaggerated.
Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler, y'all!

( I don't care,
I'll disagree,
'cause you can't take
Dark Angel from me.)
You gotta write a spy book, though Chrisisall

HomeDepot, to the rescue!!!
Mississippi was hit hardest, as there are communities which simply are no longer in existance. I feel for all those folks. Seems none were spared the misery. But, much like afte Camille, things will return to some sense of order down there.
Life finds a way.
