Has anyone ventured to guess when this show is taking place. They are giving a lot of clues this season to indicate some tragic event in human history.
There was even a Wired magazine recently which indicates the 2010's.
- carburator cars only as electronics are probably fried.
- They show mostly derelict buildings and such but not a lot about the animals or vegetation during this period.
I think you're going to give yourself a pointless headache trying to figure out something the writers have not given a thought about. It doesn't matter to them. As long as they get their "modern" western setting, they don't give a shit about the whys, whens or wheres. Hence all the plot holes, nonsensicals settings and discrepancies.
They banned guns. Why? Just so they can look "badass" and fight like Samurais.
They have cars running on... whatever really. We keep getting told of "oil fields" lol as if oil grew in fields. Cars don't run on crude oil anyway. You'd also need massive refineries operating on... love power? Since they don't have electricity. Why? Just so it can look more western.
not really , you could have a backyard refinery the size of a car.
we only have giant refineries because we burn 88 million barrels of oil per day. enjoy that while it lasts.
