Ugh. The writer of Supernatural is writing the pilot. It's going to be abysmal. And expensive. And cancelled after six episodes.

“No phone, no lights no motor cars,
Not a single luxury,
Like Robinson Crusoe,
As primitive as can be.”

The concept is not new.

A similar, short lived animated series from 2007: Afterworld

“In this epic adventure thriller, a family struggles to reunite in a post-apocalyptic American landscape: a world of empty cities, local militias and heroic freedom fighters, where every single piece of technology — computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights — has mysteriously blacked out … forever.”

Post-apocalyptic world with no modern technology is a theme that's been done to death in science fiction, and it doesn't take much imagination - it's basically our past. It's a lot harder to create a convincing, intelligent projection of a future in which modern technology continues to develop.

How much do you want to bet they will portray conservatives as gun-toting, self-serving and evil nutcases, while liberals will be portrayed as ‘voices of reason in a world gone mad’?

It’s Hollywood - count on it.

There’s no hook that could compel me to watch yet another post apocalyptic drama.

The idea is as boring as vampires.

Let me guess:

Women bosses, all taller and stronger and smarter than any man.

I yearn for masculine men and romance, not sex. Oh, if only we could have a little paternalism.

I’ll watch anything J.J. does, now he just needs to add Damon and CArlton to the writing team and Micheal Giacchino to do the music.

The "Dies the Fire" series.

The "Island in the Sea of Time" series, the other side, was much better.

Especially when they figure out why gun control and socialism is a very bad idea.

I think Stirling is on a diet because all he writes about any more is food.

Sounds like he’s copying ‘Dies the Fire’ from S.M. Stirling.
