The Doom and Gloom Report - CBS's Jericho

Just from the trailers that have appeared on tv we will attempt to expose some inaccuracies within the show....or at least try to and if no, it might just make you think.

Like for instance...the flash to bang time seems to be off. Actually in the trailers, the flash and the bang happen at the same time. I will have to watch this a little more carefully when the actual show is on. For you to see the flash and hear the bang at the very same time....well, you wouldn't be alive long enough to talk about it. Remember lightning???? 10001, 1002, 1003....tells you har far away the lightning struck when you hear the thunder., same principle here. Kansas to Boulder or Denver must give you up to 5 seconds or more from the time you see the flash to the time you hear the explosion. Now thinking about it, they show blast damage. That would need to occure extremely more close to the source of the explosion than the distance the show gives the viewers.

Electro Magnetic Pulse... (EMP) That is where you see all the lights go out at once. Those circuits are now fried. Now when they speak that they have their own frequencies but not any from the outside.... How is this possible if they experienced an EMP?? They could have miraculously shut their system down prior to the emp but this is unlikely unless they were aware of an impending nuclear explosing which from the tone of the trailers they were not.

Maybe it is me but I really hope the creaters took a little more thought into the scientific possibilities and didn't take too much literary license here.

We'll see next month.

Til then, remember to take breaks when loading your safe room.
