Sophie: Choice

You get a good look at the fence in the pilot.

"And this must be last week, when we went to space-Florida"
This one line summarized everything I love about this show.

Red herring or overthinking?
When Peter woke up in the hospital, Olivia said "Welcome back" and Walter seemed overly happy to see him again. Both were acting a little off.

Maybe I'm thinking of the post-apocalyptic pseudo-western. Mad Max, Boy and his Dog, the Postman, Book of Eli, etc.

American dream
I've always thought of the modern post-apocalyptic genre as being a product of the American dream - your position after the end of the world is determined not by your class or upbringing, but by your innate talents and abilities.

"How can I put this more simply…"
I love the scene in every disaster movie where the scientist tries to explain the problem to the government / military in the dumbest way possible.
