I hate it when they do cliffhangers and the show is canned. Anybody remember the television series "Alien Nation" (1989-1990) on Fox? Not a great show, but not horrible. Cliffhanger and then cancellation. They resolved it with a television movie a few years later, but still. Damm it was canceled. I hate it when they do cliffhangers and the show is canned.

If you watch Sons of Anarchy, OMG Katey Segal is amazing, and it's the same idea of a Mother figure being the base of a warriors clan. She is badass and soft at times too. It's perfect for Survivors. Just let a cable channel have it, please. Not network TV. Sons, In plain site, breaking bad and justified are all great.

We are still pretty addicted. It really is a great show and I don't think they'd be able to make it in America and keep it as good. For example, in America, Abby would be a played by a super model or skinny super-hot actress. We just finished the last episode of Season 2 the other night. We are still pretty addicted.

This puts Jericho to shame. It's good. Couple of things, I really agree with the Gun issue everyone has. They have people shooting at them and some of them refuse to touch a gun still? crazy talk. People gravitate to mother figures, so it makes sense they look to Abby to make sense of it all. The other thing, the search for Peter, yeah it's distracting but were my mom still with us and I was a young one, I know she would not rest until she was sure I was gone. If you think on your mother, hopefully you know she is same. And Miss Blue, Abby is the center figure for that reason. As a middle aged mom yourself, I get that you find it too normal, but it's good writing that has these folks holding on to normal.

I can understand your views on guns/weapons etc. but in the UK guns are just not that readily available. If you managed to get hold of one (and of course the ammo), it would be of extreme rarity as guns are just not that easily found in the UK. I am an archer and I would certainly put my bow as essential if I was in a post apocalyptic Britain, at least until I could lay my hands on a gun and some ammo! Also by the second series things are getting more desperate and gun use seems to become a bit more common. On the subject of "Peter", without dropping too many spoilers - that one is resolved (one way or the other) at the end of season 2! Hi Guys,
