it may be a bit more action-oriented in the first few eps of this season since there was a conflict going on with their neighboring town. Now the conspiracy stuff is coming into play, as the military comes in, etc. If the show is indeed cancelled, they may accelerate things, and *that* might make it more fast paced, with less time to let those family and inter-personal things I was praising develop.

The "family dynamic" deals with--families. Husbands and wives, daughters and daughters-in-low, brothers and sisters. Women are very central to this show. I'm not getting where you draw that conclusion. You are right. It is just rare for a guy to talk about more than action. And i really don't understand the survivalist thing either: this is more than just a bunch of nuts out in the woods running around, this is about the survival of real cities. As i stated, this is about how *any* of us would react if--some might say when--this happened to us. That is what I am talking about. The dynamics of people when in a"end of the world situation" usually has guys as the central characters. somehow you seem to have gleaned from all i wrote only that it's some high-action paramilitary survivalist series that appeals to guys. I got it from the previews that CBS always shows. They always show action shots. They never show the emotional part of the story. If I conveyed that impression from my words, then mea culpa. It's way more than that. It's ce rtainly not a "big mess". " A big mess " =some many different themes going on at once. And like I said, maybe the superficial description of the plots seems obvious and cliched, but as I said, how it's put together is anything but. You just may not like it, but i think that's personal preference. It is definitely way more than a dumb guy's show focused on nothing but survivalists and fighting. Mayb I should watch it. The preview for the show had a man from Wyoming coming in and taking over. That is why I thought it as a man show. **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.
