ok... 3rd episode and they place it 18 hours after blast. There's not really anything to be overly critical about in this last episode so we will take a look at the attack itself.
Terrorist?? Not very likely since there were multiple targets....about 8 or more. I can see them getting off a small one maybe twice but nothing more than that.
If you look at the targets Boulder, Wichita, Atlanta, Philidelphia, Chicago, Seattle??, etc. these aren't military targets and they are not major population centers they are something in between. The targets weren't meant to be a knockout punch militarily speaking as they did not hit command and control centers. It was not meant to totally anihalate the country as medium sized population centers were hit. In a boxing analogy we were hit with a punch we didn't see comming and we were knocked back a couple of steps.
In this last episode the folks in the bar picked up a possible chinese broadcast from their satellite dish. Ever think this town is soon to run out of gas for those generators??? Or....by some chance is there still an electrical grid fully functional??? Now how is it a town in Kansas can pick up a chinese satellite?? I suppose it is possible considering radio frequency can "skip" around in the ionosphere and be picked up 100's and even 1000's of miles from the source. That is earthbound communications though. Does the same apply to earth/space/earth communications?
Can someone living in Kiev pick up MTV Latin America with his dish?? He certainly could if the signal was beamed to him. Communication satellites are normally parked in a geostationary orbit. For example...generally speaking, DirecTV has theirs over Texas. It is commonly known that although DirecTV's audience is American and yes the signal footprint is ConUS (continental US) households in Canada can receive the signal.
I am going to guess what was picked up on the satellite dish was a direct broadcast on not "skip". If it were "skip" the source would most likely be ground based rather than space and would have been received by regular tv with rabbit ears. My guess that this was a direct broadcast. The question remains though, is an asian broadcast to/from asia (thinking Chinese or N. Korean) able to be picked up in Kansas? If someone has an answer please drop a note.
Now there is mention in the previews for the next episode that "they're comming". This was from a refugee from Colorado. Who is "they"?? One obvious though is more refugees are comming. There would be a virtual exodus from any area near the blast to a safer area. There was mention of fighter jets in this last episode. Of course everything we have would be airborn in a possible attack but is the jets scrambling and "they're comming" and the chinese broadcast connected?? Is it possible that the country was invaded and the nuclear explosions a first strike?
perhaps we'll see, stay tuned.

If you watched the episode with the map/red pins closely. You can see that the list of cities that he writes on the pad is longer and includes more than just the cities he pushes the pins into. For example, I specifically saw Washington DC and LA on teh written list, but the show makes a point of going over them to place pins in Philadelphia and San Diego.
I went back and viewed that episode online. I couldn't make out the names on the list while he was at the radio due to bad camera angle but I did see at least 7 and there might have been 8 cities on the list. The scene where he is at the map using the push pins the cities are: Boulder, Atlanta, Chicago, Philly and San Diego. He does grab 4 more pins so that would make 8 cities that we know about.
Any thoughts on this guy?? Are his intentions devious or benevolent?
