Why are they not Fishing?

Food is expiring. They are enjoying the fresh cheese. They are by the ocean. So why are they not fishing for fresh fish. Are all the fish dead? We saw all of the bloated corpses of the whales.

You guys think way too much about this show. It's not an M. Knight Shamylan movie. It has clearly been implied that all the animals are dead except this one cow. That's why they freaked out when they found it.

This show has more plot holes than anything in the history of TV and it will ruin things if you think about it too much.

Why aren't they fishing? Why aren't they growing a garden? How did Phil learn to drive a B-2 Bomber or get trains running when he's too stupid to put helium in balloons? Why aren't they at least sick from all the radiation that got released when the reactors melted down and the spent fuel storage pools dried up?

Once you start asking practical questions, the whole show just falls apart. So just enjoy it for what it is.

They did try to grow tomatoes last season.

The cow was the exception. That's why they treasure it.

But its the ONE remaining cow. Its like how the humans survives - it was immune to the virus. one in a million. Thats why they dont have more cows.

The virus devastated most life. Some humans have survived, obviously. Some wildlife too. But it is few and far between.

They've done a poor job explaining the animal situation. The whale scene implied the animals are dead, but then we have the cow. I'd guess that almost all the animals are gone, just like with the humans.

Yeah, that is kind of what I was thinking. But there is also the possibility that they were holding off on addressing that issue to leave their options open.

So while we haven't seen roving packs of dogs & cats issues, we know that they were excited and shocked to find a cow. And that there was a mass die off of whales at the start of season 2. It could just be a mass die off of all mammals.

Perhaps they will address the issue better in the crickets episode coming up.

In the last episode they said that all the fish are dead.
