I dropped it once I realised it would conflict with Primeval: New World AND Castle. Didn't even watch eps 3 or 4.

Can I come visit? Netflix finally got the last two seasons of Primeval and I thoroughly enjoyed them, but I was left wanting more. We don't get PNW down here.

Here is what I don't get - these pendants they allow electric devices to work - we saw the english woman's iphone turn on (hmm it held a charge for 10 years?) but...the people who fire up computers and communicate via modem. If there is some field that stops electrical energy - how is it traveling across the phone lines outside of the area of the pendant?? How are the phone lines even still intact after 10 years of neglect (anyone who watches life after people would know what happens with just a few years of non maint).
Also - lets face it if the power went off and never came back on, the people best suited to live would be the amish! I would expect they would rise to power!!
I wish the us would just get back to stealing brittish shows and give us misfits and a us dr. who

Well it could have been an old style packet radio setup. My first boss out of college was a Ham radio buff and used such a setup. It had a very low bit rate. Of course the show used a dial-up modem sound effect to convey old and slow.|

The 15 year charge on an iPhone is definitely wishful thinking unless they'll suggesting the dampening field also prevents leakage in batteries.

Maybe not battery leakage, but what about a wireless powering ala Teslectricity?

Also I live in Canada so Primeval was a forgone conclusion. Still not watching it at 10, since Castle > everything else.

I agree with the comment that those "countries" are way too large. I'd expect warring city-states, like Ancient Greece... not sprawling empires. Especially considering Monroe sounded like the only one with a working train. Maybe that's the point... all of these players have steam engines running, so they are able to hold things together.
I have to agree with MM... I can see Danny become the "son the Insurance Adjuster Guy never had"... despite the fact that he already has a son. Maybe he wants a new son who doesn't know he was a dweeb before the lights went out.
