Let's see what the catastrophe is. Global warming? EMP? Nukes again?

Me and 9 girls from Hooters?
Sign me up!!!
Seriously I’ll watch it. One of my favorite SciFi books were “Lucifer’s Hammer” and “The Postman”

It ain’t real if there are no mutants or zombies.

“Lucifer’s Hammer”
I think ABC (?) is ripping it off with “Meteor” this month.
Or retitling it. I always thought it would make one heck of a movie.

Not nearly enough.

I’d go with an entire small town. My little town only has about 150 people and I suspect we would do quite well. The elderly are an issue because of health but I suspect they could more than make it up through their experience.

An established community would undoubtedly fare best.
Somewhere I recall hearing that it had to be at least 600 unrelated people to prevent genetic defects.

We’ve got a dam too and that gives us a good start. Plenty of knowledge in town as well.

“Meteor” sucked as a movie.
“Lucifer’s Hammer” was written by what I consider to be the best SciFi duo of all time; Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
I would really enjoy seeing “Lucifer’s Hammer” made into a movie if they would remain faithful to the book. But that almost never happens.
“Meteor” is to “Lucifer’s Hammer” as Obunghole is to Washington.
9 times out 8 Hollywood ruins a good book when making it into a movie.
