Anya ,'Same Time, Same Place'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Well, Gerald McRaney seems in on the joke, which helps. And I obviously support Dale and Skylar taking over the town. But it still seems to be a story about how some people are just too dumb to die.
Maybe that's why it's set in Kansas. It's a final repudiation of Darwinism.
Oh, but there was no fallout in Jericho (the town, I mean). Except for sometimes when they acted like there was, even though they'd stressed that there wasn't.
There's, like, no weather?

Is that the dude and the chick?

It rained one time and brought all that radiation RIGHT DOWN ON JERICHO t /Hawkins
They hid in a cave or something, and they were safe. The end!
Maybe they're actually in Dark City.
The Day After was frequently very wrong too. Television producers have some deep aversion to actually reading about nuclear stuff and prefer to base their stories on vague memories of '50s SF movies with giant bugs. Most fallout will decay within about a week. Not within the arbitrary three days on Jericho, though. What difference would it have made to the plot to wait a week before coming out of the salt mines? None. After that, there are some elements that will be around roughly forever, but the problem for most people is going to increased risk of cancer, not the immediate Britney Spears look.
I'll shut up now.
But then afterwards they went out with geiger counters and everything was fine! And Stanley was out in the rain and he was fine, even when that so-called doctor told him to DRINK IODINE which I am still so angry about.
But anyway. They hid in the cave in case there was fallout, but there actually wasn't any.
If you had potassium iodide, you'd take it to help prevent thyroid cancer, because one of the long-lived elements is radioactive iodine. I'm not sure how, or if, you could translate the amounts in commercial iodine into a useful dose.
Whatever, Ginger. Don't expect Steve Guttenberg to help you when the time comes.

Well of course he won't; he got blown up in a plane over Neptune.
