You are right - I do remember that one. For some reason it just didn't stick with me as being the whole story. I really don't know why though! I guess it's because WE as viewers know, but the people in Jericho / the US in the show don't know. Outside of Hawkins and the others who were in on the package thing. Last week they believed the "Marines" who said it was Iran and North Korea. I guess I just figured some sort of "government official" would have figured it out and/or figured out how to communicate with everyone out there.
Also - assuming the bombs were radioactive from the mushroom clouds and all the radiation sickness - wouldn't the fallout / nuclear winter be much worse than it is? I seriously don't know anything about nuclear physics, so I'm clueless as to the reality of nuclear bombs going off in the US like that.
Plus - did we ever figure out where the electromagnetic pulse came from that threw off all the electricity, etc? I may have missed that somewhere.
For all my stupid criticism and thinking about the reality of it, I do really like the show. I have ALWAYS thought Skeet was HOTT so staring at him for an hour a week is quite nice!
