I thought Threads jumped ahead 10 years, not a hundred.

And yes, the thing that stuck with me, was how quickly language became dumbed-down, because the kids didn’t really go to school. The scene where they are watching on old video, where they talk about skeletons.

See, that girl that is pregnant and birthing near the end I thought there was some info that the people trying to farm near the very end are like the 2nd generation after the birth. I need to watch it again.

I remember watching “The Day After” on TV when it came out.
It seemed very realistic at the time. Especially as the main characters kids were getting sick from radiation fallout. I remember his daughter's hair falling out and being mostly bald on her wedding day. It certainly did not make you want to survive an all out nuclear war.

It made me think that I would want to drive to the local airbase and be gone in the first strike. There have been many of these post Apocalyptic movies/books. Some very well done. Some laughable. My personal favorites: The Stand The Book of Eli Mad Max The Road Warrior The Road Then there are the bad ones: The Postman Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome feel free to add your own FRiends

I remember that! And that one man was educated, so the guy said to him, “Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin', but, ah... it says on your chart that you're f***** up. Ah, you talk like a fag, and your s***’s all retarded.” That was powerful.
