It  may be a boring place to live or visit but its military value with even 100 ICBMs would probably put it on the list. Colorado Springs  is 90 miles due south of Denver and at aproximately the same elevation. As such if it was hit it would appear as a seperate and distinct mushroom cloud. There is no place in western Kansas that this would not be true.As an audience member it maters to me as it allows me to interprete what is going on. Sure they don't have to answer the question but this is such an obvious one that by not answering it the show is very much indicating that they are going down the Lost road. OK I will give you that there has not been much time yet to consider this. The concearn I have is the statements that they will encounter others from an indian reservation. This is what makes me wonder about why they mention this but not the other surrounding towns. The stement was that there are rising tensions. This implies that there is something people know about and are discussing and not a complete surprise. Again by making this one of the mysteries of the show it is making this more like Lost.Well that just has railroad written all over it. Given the size of Jericho whre are these escaped prisoners coming from? Why wern't deputies sent to different towns in different directions? This is just one of those things that make me groan.Well maybe the town isn't stupid then but the mysterious stranger who knows too much also strikes me as another trip down the Lost road. See aboveSee aboveThen the indian reservation and all the neighboring towns need to be accounted for in the first few episodes.I would argue that getting in contact with the state police/national guard/govenors office would be equally important.Yes, and it is being done as a Lost clone this way. I would be perfectly happy with a straight up post-apocolyptic series about survival instead of wrapping everything in mysteries.point takenHaving not seen the pilot, just the trailer, I am only that plus what I have read. So far the radiation issue has not been answered to my satifaction and actually given other statements it apears that for whatever reason they choose the writers have decided to either make it go away or make it part of the mystery. I expect a pilot to capture my sattention and make me want to watch. Setting up a Lost clone is not high on my viewing list. I will probably watch the pilot when it airs just in case it is better than I am giving it credit for.So did the Lost writers and producers. So far I have learned not to trust them. Saying you have a cohearent strategy and actually producing one are very different things. Now all the show needs is an old man in a cave (very old reference).</blockquote>
