Wow, thanks for the background, interesting!

The footage at the very beginning was frightening, especially as I heard what sounded like the Communist’s voice in the White House. And every city background scene looked like too much of the country does already (the bums, etc.).

The cityscape was right out of the book, so they only needed to plant a few wrecks in an industrial section of L.A. to make it look right.

I missed the whole Starnesville episode from the book where we actually see the Dark Ages arrive in a formerly industrialized section of Wisconsin. They glossed right over that.
