What happened to the numerous iterations of the Kalashnikov? Or the guns American families are so fond of keeping in their homes? And you choose to use flintlocks, the least useful weapons since the 19th century. Allrighty then. What, you robbed a museum or something? A museum that miraculously had this amount of fully working flintlock guns? Yep, this is a way more plausible scenario than, you know, using modern guns. Because obviously those don't work without electricity and are way less in numbers than antiquities.
Rant over. Fuck sake.
I agree with you about the antique guns, but my guess is the explanation will be because many of the modern tools used to make guns or ammo used electricity. How many of the tools that could make modern weapons and ammo exist today that don't use it? I do like that they kinda went Civil War era type weapons in some cases even the swords and sabers bit.
I'm not ready yet to give up, I'm gonna wait till the whole season is on Netflix so I can watch an episode here and there and not have to be so invested with time and energy by watching it from start to finish each season. Plus just got Hulu Plus so I at least could stay caught up with shows if I chose to do so.
I'm worried though that it will turn into another Heroes where the first season was really good and showed a lot of promise but then gets so caught up in its own Hubris that it tanks quickly but they keep feeding what little fire it has left till it just dies.
