I was ticked that I canceled two other shows to record this. It totally glossed over a lot of the problems and gave no new ideas or scenarios. I felt like it was made to show young school children and not the general public.

Sorry I wasted everyones time with this. I had hopes it would be worth a shit. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but sounds like I don't need to bother.
Oh, dont get me wrong. I found it entertaining. At least it got the subject matter out there.

I think it woke my 14 year old up a little. He said it scared him a bit.

Well maybe not a total waste then. Or could it be we just look at things with a much more critical eye??
I think we look at it with a more critical eye.
I don’t have “hobbies” I’m developing a robust Post-Apocalyptic skill set.
I think it did the same for my wife

I found the initial premise believable: cyber-terrorist take out the grid by hacking into systems and overloading the grid. My sister used to work for Westinghouse building software to control power distribution and such, and from her I know that if you get in, you can do bad things.
The (unfortunate) message I got form this show was the GOV will come and save you, if you can hold out for 2 weeks. Just listen and follow their directions. The nice food camps, the "foreign" aid coming in. Only 2 weeks to get power back after transformers blow from voltage surges on a national level?
Any comments on the “prepper” guy? In some ways I found him the most flawed and believable at the same time. He was a good example of you can't go it alone. He had too much stuff to defend by himself, without much support from his family and the loser boyfriend of his daughter. What good does it do to store 2 years of food it you are alone and unable to secure.
Just my opinion, but he would have been better off meeting the neighbor at the fence with a similar attitude of we are all in it together. Don’t give away any info, but tell him how you don’t have much either, but that you will help any way you can. Get the neighbors to think you are in the same unprepared boat, but that you will share what little you do have “in a spirit of community”. At least then they may not come busting in if your friendly as opposed to meeting the guy at the fence with a drawn gun.
