I thought it was lame.
Those folks sure do dress well to have been without power and most of life’s conveniences for 15 years. Pure style.
Where did all the water come from? How does losing electricity cause churches to be submerged?
We’re supposed to believe that one retired middle-aged soldier with nothing but a sword defeats a batallion with his only help a teenage girl and a shapely blonde (of course) woman with an accent.
Do these people ever eat? Plenty of alcohol.
I’m all in for a good sci-fi story, and LOST hooked me, but the jury is out on this one and not feeling very friendly.
If the women look that good in an apocalyptic world 15 years later sign me up immediately.
Well I figure the dam or levy broke..
ahahaha - assumptions are often far removed from facts on the ground.
Ummm- people managed to dress well, build well, live well -for tens of thousands of years before electricity, which has only been around for a blips-worth ot time.
Indeed, I, myself, grew up on a farm in a community that had no electricity until the early 1950's. WE had a good life - a largely independent life. Beautiful home and outbuildings built by my great grandfather in 1848.
Going back further, to 1620, one of my 8th great great grandfathers, Capt Myles Standish - whom most folks surmise only had a blunderbuss for a weapon - well, he DID have one, but he also had a mighty fine rifle - capable of carrying shot true up to 200 yards. And Standish was a marksman with it. His demonstrations of his marksmanship impressed the 'locals'.
John Alden, one of my 7th great great grandfathers, had a fine 50 cal. rifle that could carry at least 150 yds true. The rifle is in the museum - inspection shows the barrel could still withstand being shot today - altho' the stock may not hold.
I wouldn't assume that people without electricity after 15 years would be dirty ragamuffins, etc.
Here's an amusing piece Capt. Myles Standish.
