And how cool was that – the firemen saving all those books while the trailer park was burning down. :rolleyes:
April is the only medical person we’ve seen. Eric’s girlfriend is the only one working at the bar, 24/7 apparently. Nobody thinks to tell people to turn stuff of so things don’t get overloaded when the electricity comes back. Terrible CGI for the fires. Where was Ashley’s mother? Why were those kids at school with just one adult around?
I agree with Unauthorized Cinnamon. The show just gets dumber, and story lines that viewers might actually be interested in are never developed.
I give up. I don’t even care about Hawkins anymore.
I can actually picture my mother doing just that. They’re just getting power back on after 4 days. People would want to do stuff like bath, clean their houses, do laundry, etc while they have the chance. It still hasn’t set in how bad things could get yet. Anyone else think it’s cute that Skylar still thinks her parents are alive?
I remember looking through the instructions the basement of the library where I worked. It had been a fallout shelter. I believe you were supposed to clean the dust up.
"You mean it’s time to tell him about my…

Humph? Did the sound go off?
“Yes”
“Dammit”, says I, “I’m outta here.”
Then we’ve got folding satellite dishes and a second strike.
I’ll stick around for another episode.
I can always keep the DVDs around in case I can’t sleep.
Well, in 1974 he was convicted of a crime he did not commit. He promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade and disappeared into the Los Angeles underground.
Has it occurred to anyone yet to hook up a VCR to the satellite dish so if something flashed by on the screen (like the Asian news report) they’ll be able to rewatch it? Anyway, my interest is waning fast.
Did anyone else notice this? WHen the NYC reporter lady went into the grocery store to use the ATM, she clearly swiped, as opposed to inserted, her card, but then the ATM displayed “Card Held” or somesuch, and she bitched about it being taken?
If I was a bettin’ man, I’d say that Skylar (horriible name, btw) will be the first one eaten by the Radioactive Zombies, and said Zombies will actually be HER PARENTS, back, and hungry for BRAAAIIINNNS…
…they’ll be in for one very unappetizing meal that’s for sure…
I didn’t notice it. BTW she’s an IRS agent from DC (which apparently hasn’t been nuked for some reason). The delayed ICBM launch suggests that the bombs were already planted in the cities and it took a few days for the government to figure out who to attack. Also why would the government be transmitting a feed of an empty podium as opposed to just a screen with the Seal on it?
I think it’s a terrible show but I get caught up in shows like this because I want to know what will happen. I hate every minute of the show but I just have to know. Today there was a clue about Skeet’s previous life and now I have to watch until I know what that is all about. It’s infuriating.
In high school I got caught watching Days of our lives (I was sick) and I got wrapped up in that piece of crap for a while until spoilers got posted on the internet. Then all I had to do was read spoilers for 5 minutes/week. It’s a curse and I hate it.
The other reason I watch is because Sprague Grayden is hot.
My wife has been watching the show with me and afterwards summed it up very nicely, “each show is a race against time. Either it’s a race to put out fires, save the two hostages, get out of the fallout or fill the generator with gas”. Pretty much pins the tail on this donkey. The only part I found interesting tonight was the ICBM launch.
I can’t believe I watched it again. I’ve got it programmed to record on the DVR but with a low priority so just about anything else could override it. Guess there’s nothing else on 'cause it keeps recording each week.
How much does IRS chick drink? Holy crap. Was she not sitting at the bar drinking the entire episode? Day and night?
The main story? Oh, who cares about that at this point.
Bwah ha! Now THAT would make the show worth watching!
Come to think of it, you could assemble your very own A-team out of people already in town:
Hawkins = Hannibal Smith (he’s the man with the plan)
Eric = Face (apparently people find him charming)
Stanley = Murdoch (comic relief, but really pretty useful)
Jake = B.A. Baracus (that one may seem weird, but he could probably fashion a flamethrower out of a toilet paper tube and a piece of gum)
Heather could be that reporter chick they had for a few seasons–not part of the team, but a helpful friend.
There was also somebody mentioning that if they lost the library, half of Main Street could go up. So I’m willing to give them a pass on splitting up the trucks and tackling both fires at once.
And ditto to whoever mentioned that people should have shut things off before the power came back on. Hasn’t anybody in this town read The Stand?
I’m between C and D. I started out wanting to watch it but now it’s pretty much okay, it’s on so I’ll watch it. Anybody want to entertain that there’s been a military coup and the next round of ICBMs are heading for the reb troups? Hey, it’s as good as anything else they’ve pulled out of their butts.
