Revolution on nbc

[SuperiorDG]

You know prior to the invention of electricity the industrial revolution was in full swing and we were making some pretty advanced stuff. Not sure why in 15 years we would loose all ability to manufacture. Lord knows ak's would still be kicking.

I think to appease the sheeple they had to tone down the voilance by getting ride of those evil assault rifles.

Looks interesting. Wonder why every gun carrier is toting a musket?

It looks like the show takes place 15 years later. I suspect those with guns are carrying muskets because it is easier to manufacture black powder and balls than it is smokeless powder and primers being that modern cartridge components have long since been used up.

I was a little turned off by the sword fighting too...

PS - I agree with the notion that the people would have started manufacturing again after 15 years with no electricity. Did we totally forget about steam engines and belt driven factories?

Actually I think part of the premise is that modern technology (electricity, internal combustion, maybe even steam power, smokeless powder, etc) have mysteriously stopped working.

Seriously there's a LOT of ammunition and components laying around (and smokeless powder is not that hard to make) so that even 15 years after a major collapse there would be plenty of functional guns and ammo out there.

I think an undercurrent of the entire series is going to be to figure out what (possibly supernatural? possibly extra-terrestrial?) power caused technology to stop working.


I just don't trust NBC (or any member of the Democrat/Media complex) to address this subject without injecting a LOT of leftist politics into it.

Well why should sword fighting be so out of the ordinary.. guess what they had before guns..

I know how to use a katana.. it only seems natural that if people can't have firearms readily available they'd avail themselves of what centuries of people used for attack and defense.

I hate shows on the broadcast networks.. fox is just as bad.. The Unit is a good example of a good show being cancelled for political reasons.. too much realism.

I think FX has grown into an awesome network.. Justified, Archer, Sons of Anarchy.. even AMC w/ mad men... They're giving the networks a run for sure.

Nope, not even close. Obviously global warming, or as they now call it, "anthropogenic climate change". Al Gore makes a cameo appearance as a Katana-wielding Shaman.

I'll forgive it ONLY if he's hunting Manbearpig. I'm super cereal.

That looks pretty solid but I wish we could see more of the crumbling of modern society rather than jumping 15 years into the future.

Everyone bought a slide fire stock.



This sounds like a movie I pitched once, will I be rich? or my lawyer?

[jreifsch80]

there would still be mauser collectors and their thousands upon thousands of surplus turk and yugo ammo
