Thanks. I’ll keep them on the back burner for when times get really boring then or when the DVR fills up.
Well, I was bored yesterday and had some time on my hands to waste and watched the 4 episodes I had DVR’d.
I’m guessing this is LA where this happens (looks like it). I think the most realistic part is the downtown scene with the senseless rioting and destruction. If this really happened, this is probably what you’d see there - mostly.
And yes, the huddled masses in the outer areas would be depending on government to come to the rescue.
To my mind, the main characters are detestable sheep with no redeeming value I can empathize with. I’d probably have more sympathy for a zombie character (if there was a main one from whose perspective parts of “a day in the life..” were interspersed with the other blather).
I guess I could continue watching if there was some plan to have the guidance counselor lady turn “Sarah Connor” or something. Otherwise, forget it.
Protected “enclaves” - safe zones where the government takes care of your needs. The truth is the government would quarantine and abandon the whole damn area - after the DC politicians and poweratti were taken to a safe location. And, at some point they’d nuke it.
Robert Kirkman started out in comics anti-religion but largely apolitical, but his liberal colleagues have turned him full-blown leftist. I don’t disagree that what you’re seeing is on display, but I don’t think he realizes it or is doing it to make a point against leftism.
