Does anyone have any idea why this show is on the Sci-fi channel? Is it a sci-fi? I can only guess the nukes are coming from aliens otherwise get this show off this channel. Anyone agree?

There was a song played in the starting scene of the pilot. Does anyone knows what is the song or the artist?

Actually, if you read a book called Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank, you might get an idea of where Jericho is heading. It was a book about a small town and how it was affected by a nuclear attack upon America. Generally shelved or filed in the SF area, but occasionally you can find it in general fiction.

Another Thought.....they supposedly just got a rainstorm mixed with the nuclear fallout.....

This is the WORST possible case scenerio when it comes to fallout.......if this show is going to be realistic we're going to see a LOT of people die.....and a day or so in teh fallout shelter is NOT going to be enough......

They do not have proper equipment, and will need to pretty much bulldoze EVERYTHING......honestly given this situation this show might end up more like a "when the wind blows" British movie........

I'll be very interested to see how realistic they are on radiation sickness and clean up.....

They've hinted it was a hydrogen bomb, so probably lower radiation, but unlikely a terrorist could build that. Also those bombs are designed for ariel burst for maximum damage but minimum fallout, if they say it was a terorist, and brought in, say ground level, the fallout should be much worse, and unlikely ANY terrorist could produce a hydrogen bomb.

Still Kudos for showing the state of disrepair of fallout shelters, their incredible inadaquacy at sheltering modern populations even in small towns.....and using a mine as a make shift one, as it does have modern ventalation and scrubbers. That was just a really good idea.

I really liked the second episode, and thought the mine was ingenius.......some people said I nit picked too much about teh science of the nuclear explosion distances etc. But see that is what I have generally liked about LOST, they did a little reseach, and some of what seems crazy, actually is based on magnetic theory.

I really do want this to be a realistic depiction of Nucelar attack/war. As we really haven't had anything like that in some time, and it makes the show more "real"......if they blow the actual effects of fall out I'll probably switch it off. It greatly annoys me in movies like "The Sum of All Fears" when they completely ignore the realities of nuclear explosions, radiation sickness and etc.......and movies who get it right like K-19.....I really get into....what can i say, my Dad spent his life working in the nuclear industry...I want it to be realistic.

In any case....teh phone call from Atlanta would be fine....calls are almost instant now with only a few seconds of delay even from here to Europe....so no EMP would have wiped out the call immediately.....

The Yield was still incredibly large to reach the height it did that many hundreds of miles away. based on what the othe rposter said about Jericho's probable location, it could very well be visable from Denver.....people forget it's VERY VERY clear out there you really can see hundreds of miles.....perhaps people living on the coast don't realize how bad our visability is.

Still for it to have reached that height it would have to be a really LARGE weapon...no terrorist could have done it.

I like the show so far, and think it has potential, mostly because I like the subject matter. Maybe I'm just morbid. That being said, please, for the love of god, does there have to be music in the background for the entire show? Hearing that sappy piano every five seconds is irritating.

I thought it was a good show. I will watch it again

Anyone know the artist/song that played at the end of the show on 9/27?

"Where's the radioactive fallout?"

That's happening in the next episode.

"If the power is out, howcome the gas pumps still work?"

I heard they have to start rationing gas around episode 4.

Where did dale turner's mom decide to go? please e-mail me the answer at destlyn@yahoo.com
