I said the same thing to my friends. Also one further is that our bodies are run with electrical impulses and our thoughts are electrons bouncing of neurons in the brain. In JJ’s world first the electronics go, then all humans die, and then the Universe flies apart.

Yes, it easy to suspend ‘selected parts of physics’ … you just ride your unicorn into the time vortex, travel back in time to kill your dad with a sword made of pure steel, then click your heals together to get back home.

Never mind that molecules and such are stuck together with electrostatic forces, or that your own biology functions on electrostatic forces changing ionic gateways to enable cells to actually do that fun stuff like allow you to continue living. Yeah, those parts are different ’cause they’re biological not man made and therefore vulnerable to some magic mumbo jumbo.

Why do think its called eletrickery … ’cause it’s magic. No wonder the rest of the people on this earth consider amelicans functional idiots.

This show is proof that you can flunk every class in school and still write screen plays.

it makes little sense and relies on people being stupid, most people know stuff used to run on steam and apparently fire still works, whats to stop people breaking into a museum and stealing a traction engine or something? even if it was broken i’m sure someone would figure it out in 15 years. Also where did the candles and lamp oil come from? who has 15 years worth of candles?

Yeah, great story idea EXCEPT 15 years without power would mean every nuclear power plant and spent fuel storage pool on the planet would have melted down and contaminated the entire planet. Nuclear power plants have 8 hours of battery backup and 10 days to two weeks of generator fuel but none of this would mean jack after 15 years especially if the premise of the show is there is no electrical power, period.

“MIT engineer warns of nuclear Armageddon, urges preventative measures

There are nearly 450 nuclear reactors in the world, with hundreds more either under construction or in the planning stages. Imagine what havoc it would wreak on our civilization, and the planet’s ecosystems, if we were to suddenly experience not just one or two nuclear meltdowns, but 400. In this article, you will come to understand that unless we take significant preventative measures, this Apocalyptic scenario is not only possible, but probable.”

I always love the post Apocalyptic shows – But…If they jack this up with political correctness and terrible mistakes on set because the director wont listen to gun/ survival experts that are on set, It will be disappointing for sure. They really need to cover the reality, brutality and the sadness of the situation at hand – Also the survival and overcoming of terrible situations the characters are put in. In other words, don’t insult people’s intelligence by writing the screenplay to cater to “green” Los Angeles types who have no idea whats it’s like to hunt, survive, shoot ect… I am optimistic, but I bet we will see our fair share of beautiful green little gardens, plentiful food that comes out of nowhere because the Director will not want to cover the reality of surviving as he may upset the progressive movie goers. I love Walking Dead, but the political correctness can run rapid in that show as well. I hope they remember – THIS show ISN’T A political race here – for God’s sakes, let the audience get away from politics and their daily lives for once. And also…enough with the behind the scenes crap every 5 minutes with all these shows – doesn’t anyone want to get away from this world for an hour and really immerse yourself in the story and not be pulled back to reality with the behind the scenes junk? I don’t get it.

In preview the daughter teams up with the warrior just as the family pilot teamed up with the daughter in stirlings works. I agree that stirling should be asking for royalties.

There are two scenes at the beginning of the trailer that are exactly the same scenes from the animated short “Ruin”. 1:06 of the trailer and :24 of “Ruin” and 1:13 (trailer) and :36 (Ruin) are the exact same scenes.

Sounds like the affects of an EM pulse or many of them frying out all electronics world wide. This would leave us in a steam punk type world assuming electronics could not created again. I love steam punk with mechanical gears and actuators; really cool stuff.

The original concept of “Fringe” seemed like a boring X-Files rip-off to me. The “Alcatraz” promos seemed interesting. I was wrong on both counts. It’s what they do with the premise that matters, so I’ll give it a chance. The two leads, though, didn’t seem all that interesting to me, which doesn’t bode well.

Who said there’s no electricity at all? Apparently there is, given what we see at the end of the trailer. It seems more likely there was some sort of electromagnetic pulse, or something that’s constantly blanketing the Earth in EMP’s. I just hope this show’s more Fringe than it is Alcatraz.

It’s on NBC, so it will fail miserably.

The basic science-FAIL is bothersome. Even we wouldn’t function if electricity wasn’t working. Why not just have fossil fuels run out without a suitable replacement, and make energy to expensive for most people?

It would have to be magic like in the book Ariel making it fantasy not sci-fi. cause it would take one hell of a science explanation to get rid of electricity. I mean really you most likely have everything in your house that you need to generate electricty and what about my crank radio and crank flash lights in my hurricane emergency kit.

Thank you!! I have been struggling for what seems to be for forever trying to remember the artist’s name of that song!!
It is a great song!!

I dunno. Sounds like “Terra Nova,” without the bad ideas that made that show at least mildly interesting, meets “The Postman.” Once we get past the first episode, it will go downhill from there. Maybe NBC can get John Travolta to put on that alien costume from “Battlefield Earth,” to complete the trifecta of awfulness. The only ones that seem not to have any power on in this No-Fi concept are the creators.

The best thing about this trailer is the song at the end. Vast – “Touched” still sounding awesome even after 14 years.

are you suggesting that electricity isn’t magic? now i’m offended.

By: hurrduur

no it couldn’t happen… you silly rascal. this computer virus of yours would also have to cause all the smart people to evaporate, as in anyone who knows how to hook up an old wooden windmill to air. you don’t need to boot something up or access microchips to generate enough power for a village

By: hurrdurr

hurrdurr — Tue, 15 May 2012 15:25:00 +0000

common difficulties the people have while living in this world where electricity isn’t allowed:”i built a windmill.. and then AIR stopped”
“as soon as i finished building this dam.. water started flowing AWAY from it”
“i rigged my bicycle up to this generator.. and my legs fell off before i could pedal”
“no clouds. ever”
“i went to sleep and woke up dead, because all matter had fallen apart”
i’d be embarrassed over admitting to enjoy this show as it’d be saying to people that i think of electricity as magic… and that i’m a moron

after watching that episode of breaking bad where the protagonist saves himself with that high school science experiment where you create a bunch of electricity from some stripped wire, sponge and some coins in a plastic container.. even a moron should have a hard time swallowing this tripe
