I am still watching this show , even though to me the entire premise isn't credible. Here is something else I thought of. With no basic supplements in their diets , like vitamins, after 15 years , these people would look a little rough. No way to grow potassium or bananas . Without citrus they would get rickets , a disease that would of killed a lot of them. Without antibiotics simple infections that are easily treated today , would of caused a lot of deaths. A simple abscess in your mouth could of killed you. Charlie and her brother would be of age to grow in their wisdom teeth. Without pulling these , their entire mouths would hurt and their teeth could grow in sideways causing infection and death. But yet just about every person on the show has white, straight teeth and their has been no dental or medical help for 15 years. I still can not fathom how everyone can drink out of the standing water ,without boiling the water. And as I have already pointed out, there would be massive radiation clouds that would of killed a of not only people ,but animals across the entire country and planet ,where ever the nuclear power plants were located and meleted down.
My question is this: For what reason would someone create a device that blocks all electrical engines and electricity in general from working? What do they have to gain from it? Cause it's not like they get any power ,unless it is to be a dictator over these little militia republics that sprang up . At least JERICHO had a good premise behind the bombings of the main U.S. cities. A despotic Vice President that wanted to steal power . Sounded very credible and likely in the times the show was created in. This show will really have to come up with some out of this world idea to make this credible.
