There are US states where the age of consent is above 16 so she'd be very underage esp wrt a 28 year old. It's 18 in California.
but I got a bit confused again. When one of the girls mentioned that she'd noticed time seemed to be passing at different rates (e.g. the speed at which the relationship betw genius girl and soldier boy developed); was she joking and making a comment pointing to the poor writing and plot/character development or was she serious? I also don't get the point of them going home again either, hadn't they already gotten an inkling about the harbingers before then? Or was that after they'd gotten home? |

Personally I'da gone INSIDE to see if there was anything salvageable cos I very much doubt they took EVERYTHING of value when they first left. This continues to be a show I want to like but the characters keep on acting so darn stupid.As for the "here's a gun for ya" wifey. I was expecting to here a second gunshot cos, seriously, what did the family think the lady was going to do next. Why'd they just leave here, weren't they neighbors ? They say that the script writing profession is extremely hard to break into because of all the established talent. Really?!! |

QED.

And there's no way that Karen did not have a basement full of pork'n'beans and MREs. Plus as it's a farm (or at least on a farm) some quality non-blunt defensive instruments might be around to collect too, unless the hordes of ravaging loons stripped out everything while passing through, assuming it was no longer raining cats and dogs or hailing taxis. |

They didn't go in the house because the budget only stretched to a static CG effects shot rather than dressing wrecked interiors.

If the writer's plan was always that they would return to their house at some point couldn't they just have filmed those scenes at the same time as they filmed the interiors for the first episode??
![]() Actually my real question is how they managed to get home before they ran out of pot noodles unless that RV is like a tardis or enough crazies had eaten each other or just vanished and there were still plenty in the shops. Unless that's why the 'weird speed of time' was brought up? They took some with them when they left, re-stocked at the army base, and again at band camp, and I think that was it? |

Even the one-line synopsis is lunacy:
The Copelands cross paths with a biker gang led by Karen's father. |

I'm hoping they don't try and out-mad-max Mad Max, as it were - it's not been that long since all hell broke loose (and seems to be in hiding) but presumably they still have a few jerry-cans and haven't yet laid siege to the local refinery... Or if they do go down that path, they pull out all the stops. |

Ugh, that wasn't even "so bad, it's funny" levels of crap, like normal. It was just boring shite. Moron son pretends to be tough, genius girl cant tell the difference between booze and mixers. Generic doppelganger "who should we shoot?" fight we've seen a billion times and dad goes on drug fuelled spirit walk.
Seriously where the **** is this show even going. |

But now we know that when Karen does that standoff thing it's always going to be someone she knows. Apart from that, it was almost a good save as far as the sentimentality was concerned. Also reassuring (if a little predictable) that paradise has a pile of bodies stuffed in a cupboard somewhere. |

I imagine Karen pulls out her gun if hubby gets breakfast wrong or perhaps leaves the toilet seat up. A character reduced to a pair of sunglasses and a pistol - Heche (& hubby) must need to pay some big bills fast.
Was a writer/director for last night's ep - Shitpeddler on two fronts. Only a few eps left now and they surely have to go bat-shit mental in the last episode as there's no way this garbage can be renewed for another season. I reckon they should have God and/or Jesus appearing - Maybe Satan too. Why not? |

It gets worst
If you think the show can not get any worst wait until you see next weeks episode, it is truly terrible

cancelled due to New Year celebrations, presumably because so many of them will also have 'aftermath'...

I don't know what the viewing figures have been like, but I would not be surprised to find that one week the programme just doesn't appear.
I don't expect that even if all episodes are shown that we will know what it was all about. I'm just enjoying the ride (sort of) but am finding the jokes too subtle (it is supposed to be a comedy isn't it?). |

Was that just me or did the half the moon just explode?
It's just that no-one seemed to have given it much mind; I suppose it's only a little thing... |
