The St Louis Ex-cop saved all their bacon. If he hadn't warned them about the radiation most of the town would have been dead or dying from radiation poisoning 72 hours later. The second episode was pretty chilling. The radio scene and wondering why he said he could't get it to work and hid the note. Then all those pins on the map. :( Denver, Atlanta, Chicago, Philidelphia, San Diego, and three more after that that we didn't see. At least 10 million people killed that time of day. Very dark foreshadowing that he picked three more pins to put on the map after those five, and didn't see where they went, just know he picked them. NY, DC, LA, Houston, Dallas??? Very chilling.

So far this seems like a really interresting show with no liberal political agenda, just showing what it would likely be like after a massive attack of that kind. Now it just is left to see who did it. Islamo-fascist terrorists are clearly the obvious suspects. If it's any one other then that, it's a liberal hit piece show and not based on the real world we live in. Unless China that did it, in which case at some point we'll hear about the massive retaliation and how China's population just dropped to a couple hundred million, down 85%, permanently. North Korea and Iran don't have the ability to do it, unless this show is set in the near future and they hadn't mentioned that yet, but it has to be considered that it's terrorists. That's the real world culprit. And an attack of this kind where eight or more major U.S. cities are destroyed would basically be the end of the United States as we know it. All military forces world wide would likely be recalled to protect the rest of the country, with the Navy and Army placed on the borders to prevent outright invasion, and it would take the U.S. Decades if EVER to recover, after losing tens of millions of people, and many major cities and infrastructure. Very scary prospect. :(

From a political standpoint, it came to mind how ironic that in the five cities known of they are filled mostly with Democrat voters, 70% or more Democrats, and it's Democrats with their weakness and involuntary appeasist mentality that makes the country vulnerable to this kind of attack. It's so bitterly ironic. This show should serve to wake up a bunch of liberals, since in this kind of attack by terrorists, most of the Americans who die would be liberals and other Democrats. That is so striking. It won't make a difference with people in the real world, but it should, because the real world fact of that is a big deal.
