Really...Fire and guns are your problem? The **** does fire have to do with electronics, or guns for that matter? Now the issue of a lack of development in steam power and power sources other than electricity in the 15 years since the blackout are legit gripes, but fire and guns still existing isn't even a problem.

We disagree on things that are opinion and subjective.
The timeline of when guns/electricity/fire were discovered/invented is fact. Huzzah!

Just ignoring the complete awful logic of not having electronics when there's obviously fuel and energy... Not having electronics wouldn't keep machines like cars from working with minor adjustments.
It's amazingly stupid.

James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron...James Cameron does what James Cameron does, because he's James Cameron.

I don't want to get that attached to Last Resort even though I really enjoyed the pilot.

The entire premise for last resort is impossible. So many things that are just completely wrong through the entire show.

Two thoughts:
1) I finally watched Season 1 of Homeland. It's as good as everyone said it was, obviously. It ranks third behind Breaking Bad and Mad Men for current dramas, but that's hardly a slight against the show. I'm still not sure it should have won for Best Drama at the Emmys ahead of Season 4 of Breaking Bad though. Pfft.
2) Not typically the type of comedy I would watch, but I thing FOX's Ben and Kate is a pretty funny show. Certainly off to a better start than The Mindy Project.

Homeland is incredible. But nothing beats Season 4 of Breaking Bad. Just amazing television.
I need to start watching Mad Men still.

Finally got around to finished season 1 of Homeland (needed to watch last 3 eps). All three were good to very good, but I didnt dig the season cliffhanger at all. Seems like something corny youd see in a soap opera, to me.
Good show, but it had no place in winning the Emmy. Oh well. Im much more annoyed about Best Actor than Best Drama. Lewis is very good in Homeland, but the idea that he got a win for 1 season of being very good, when Jon Hamm hasnt won one after 5 seasons of being amazing in Mad Men annoys me greatly. TV awards generally dont mean much to me, but I really want to see Hamm be rewarded for his work as Draper.
Also, Saul Berenson is easily my favorite character in Homeland. Love him.

When it comes to the Emmys, Jon Hamm is to dramatic acting as Steve Carell was to comedic acting. Neither will win for an iconic character and it'll be a damn shame.
Cranston deserved an Emmy in Season 4 of Breaking Bad more than any of the three seasons he actually won for. "Crawl Space" scene should have been the slam dunk.

It doesn't matter if it's impossible.. it's a television show. You have to suspend belief in almost every show that has ever been created and this one is no different.
Have you seen Firefly? We don't even have that technology!

It's just so annoying to watch cause they get so many things just flat out wrong. It's like they made it without ever talking to anyone in the navy.

Nail on the head.
Steam power is questionable because where we have seen had no water. Chicago had river but it had not shown yet. Another reason, militia will take over or abuse the authority towards steam power people. Same matter for owning firearms.
Nuclear Plants remains unknown. One source said that plants have emergency shutdown without using electricity (HOW?).
Since the Revolution is not complete yet, I wait patiently and keep looking at Charlie and Nora. lol.
