I watched it. My friend (also named Martin) watched it. Our unified verdict? We'd sooner watch VH1...

(http://www.imdb.com/title/ tt0117965/) Anybody else see this movie? It's ten years old now. The "nuclear explosion" thing is what is going to kill this show. Eventually they are going to have to show that people are alive across the country. And then the show will be about "what would happen to Americans if they didn't have technology", which is a show that has been tried a hundred times. This show would have been a great mini series or a TV movie. But I don't think I'm gonna be a regular viewer. And PLEASE don't let them start doing online components to the show for "clues" or stuff like that. After "Lost" and "Push, Nevada", I'm done reading TV shows. From here on, If it ain't on the screen in between the ads, I'm not interested. What I WOULD like to point out is the show that came on AFTER this..."Criminal Minds". One of the only shows I watch regularly now. This show has turned Shemar Moore's career AROUND. He's GREAT in this show about the Criminal Behaviour unit of the FBI. The start of the show is the crime, a lot like "Crossing Jordan" or the early days of CSI. It's got enough reference to science for folks who care, enough whodunnit for the CSI crowd. I'd be interested to see what more science and speculative fiction fans think of this show. On Sep 21, 2006, at 12:49 PM, James Landrith wrote: Thanks for the recap Keith. I missed the first 45 minutes and forgot to set it up to record. Now the last 15 minutes I saw makes more sense with your summary. I did like the mayors admonition to the citizens to not break my heart again by acting in all manner of jackassery. I grew up in a small town like that (near Peoria, IL) and I can certainly picture a few idiots I knew losing their minds in a crisis. Of course, my father was (at different times) on the Village Council, Mayor, Fire Chief, Rescue Chief, and all-around-volunteer-guy, so I probably felt a bit more of a connection to that character than others may have experienced. I hope the writing is up to par and it doesnt become clichéd and predictable. __________________________________________________________ James Landrith [EMAIL PROTECTED] cell: 703-593-2065 * fax: 760-875-8547 AIM: jlnales * ICQ: 148600159 MSN and Yahoo!

Nothing yet to make me feel one way or the other. Apparently--apparently--the US was nuked, as the residents saw a mushroom cloud on the horizon one day, and next thing all radio and phone communications are down. No contact with the nearest major city, Denver. One kid got a call on his home answering machine from his parents who were vacationing here in Atlanta, and you can hear an explosion and screaming, after which the message cuts off. So there's an assumption it was a major attack. At this point, though, there's nothing approaching data on what really happened. The most intriguing character is a Black guy who is a former St. Louis cop. He's handling the crisis well, telling the local officials how to do their jobs better. They're starting to look to him for innovative ways to keep the peace, get power, etc. Kinda cool to see a Brother take the lead and not be a reformed criminal with street smarts and all that. Other than that the show's a big mystery so far, and i have no clue as to when we'll know for sure what happened.
