Just watched season 1 and half of season 2 online.
One thing I noticed that is just wrong, where are all the obese people ?
It's set in america (of which over 60% of the population is grossly overweight and many many people are unhealthy, uneducated and unattractive) and is supposed to represent a cross section of civilian survivors, but all the women in the show are young and attractive with perfect hair and make up and all the guys are fit and healthy, they also all seem quite well spoken and well educated.
Now i can believe in Aliens, I can believe in spaceships from another planet, i can believe in Metallic/organic parasite back harnesses, but asking us to believe that there are not fat ugly stupid people in America is just stretching the boundaries of fiction too far.
Why does Hollywood continue to promote these worn out stereotypes ? surely not everyone is in denial.
