Title: Revolution
Post by: Brownie on September 18, 2012, 02:44:51 PM
This series revolves around the idea that all electricity disappears around the world without any explanation. It takes place at least partly in Chicago, where some post-apocalyptic survivors pass Wrigley Field. They decided they needed to make it believable enough, so the producers made one alteration in the pilot.

It takes place in Chicago... and South Carolina. So it's right up your alley.

But just remember, the show asks you to suspend belief about physics and other real-life matters, but putting a Chicago Cubs: World Series Champions banner on Wrigley was far too much.

Did they pick Chicago because they wouldn't need to budget too much on set modifications?

If the survivors on the show walk up to strangers and tell them elaborate stories of their past troubles while begging for money, then yes.

You haven't been to many American cities if you think that's Chicago-exclusive.

Because although I love Chicago more than any other city in the world, you get amusingly butthurt if I make about it stupid jokes of similar lameness to those lobbed at Toronto.

I propose a trade.  We re-draw the border with Canada to give them Detroit and we take Toronto.  Fair.

So, 15 years after the power goes out, they can just power up a helicopter and there are people who are completely comfortable flying them, shooting the miniguns and rockets that probably haven't been inspected in years?
