Life After People: The Series

[Nivek]

The original special was cool and I watched the first show and that was kinda cool but after you've seen that there isn't much more to see.

You can only watch buildings crumble and trees grow so many times before it starts to get old fast. Whoever thought it would be a good ideal to make a series out of the special is a idiot IMO.

but watching the same process happen again and again isn't boring to some people, that is science... and those guys don't bore easy...

 

[Marx]

I don't think it's boring to watch it when each week's episode is concentrated on certain cities.

 

[Ion Kenshin]

I agree completely. Different things occur in different cities. If you just see it as a show about building falling apart than that's all it will be to you.

PREVIEW FOR TONIGHT'S EPISODE!

Nature attacks Washington DC and Los Angeles. The fate of the Constitution and other monuments. Wilted palm trees help spread a massive inferno, while another capital emerges in the Pacific Ocean.

 

[Ion Kenshin]

Did I see right in the commercial that the Constituion just starts to fade away into a blank sheet of paper?

I think so.

 

[Ion Kenshin]

Sweet...can't wait

 

[Marx]

The Great Pacific Garbage Pit!?!?! Yuck.

 

[kane9321]

how did DC end up under water?

 

[Goddessreicho]

Isn't DC just a big ol swamp anyway?

DC was originally some kind of swamp area. They said that there are pumps or something that remove the water from the area, and combining that with rising sea levels will make DC the new 'lost city of Atlantis'.

I'm paraphrasing because I can't remember exactly what was said...I was in shock.

 

[Ratcrawler]

Yeah, pretty much. DC's monument may outlast most other manmade places because they'll be preserved underwater. Honestly, I cared more about the Elephants than anything else in this ep. The stuff about England's dogs and parrots interested me more than anything else in this series. I could just watch a whole episode about what domesticated or zoo animals escape, survive or thrive and where in a human-free world. Monitoring the Chrysler Building's rate of decay just ain't as exciting as it sounds.

 

[Mogwai]

yeah, i like when they talk about the animals too.

PREVIEW FOR TONIGHT'S EPISODE!

Once people disappear, New York City experiences its next great crash. In this episode, we reveal the breaking point of precious metals: skyscrapers face collapse, bridges hang by a steel thread; and the fate of our nation's secret stash of gold. Meanwhile, a fatal weakness is exposed in the Gateway Arch, breweries reveal untapped potential for disaster, and horses make a surprising bid to stay alive in a life after people.

PREVIEW FOR TONIGHT'S EPISODE!

In a life after people, invasive animals and vines spread: pythons battle alligators, plants strip oxygen from lakes, and sandstorms invade Phoenix. Also, Shanghai sinks and Miami is submerged.

 

[Ion Kenshin]

Wow sounds like a real good episode tonight

 

[Marx]

PREVIEW FOR TONIGHT'S EPISODE!

The fate of encased treasures, such as the Mona Lisa and the Declaration of Independence, is examined. Also: The Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, and the bridges and cable cars in San Francisco.

 

[Ratcrawler]

Ok, last weeks was the best episode so far by my standards. The Pythons vs Alligators, Chimps raising birds, Dolphin Legends, Badgers and such were all fun. What I don't understand is why Florida chimps? Does Florida have the US's largest captive chimp population or something? They never said. I would think it WOULD be in California.

That's what I was wondering about too Ratcrawler.

I think finding out what happens to all of the animals is just as exciting as what happens to our society. I'm glad last week's focus was on the animals.

 

[Ratcrawler]

Ok, after doing some research, there are 2 chimpanzee sanctuaries in Florida. I don't know whether that includes zoos or not. Though there are 5 in Texas so I'd think they'd be a more likely population to domesticate something. EsPecially considering that Texas is supposed to be the exotic pet capital of America. We'll get plenty of invasive sPecies from there.

Actually there are quite a few "chimp farms" that I've seen in Florida. You also have them in a lot of the big zoos down there like Busch Gardens, etc.

Plus, didn't their plane crash land in the everglades in that movie with Matthew Broderick?

 

[enterthemadness]

I watch some of the shows on the DVR. It gets old imo fast, but it's not bad show. I just have to be in the mood to watch it. I've see the NYC and DC shows.
