[[**Then again, it ''is'' a NATO surveillance post. The Chinese would be entering very tricky diplomatic waters if they tried to take the island. They were only emboldened by the ''Colorado'' incident; with that resolved, and the US able to place its full attention on China, any further Chinese exploitation of the island will be much harder for them. On the other hand, there's good material for a follow-up series where James leads the islanders in a resistance movement against whoever decides to move in.]]

As one of the characters notes, ''dozens'' of nukes were set off in the Nevada Proving Grounds, which are even closer to Las Vegas than the warning shot was to D.C., with no apparent side effects in Las Vegas. Weather patterns and ocean currents in the area would take the contaminated water away from the coast, and if the blast was an airburst there wouldn't be any fallout in any case.

* Chaplin may be acting like he's gone insane in order to ensure that, should the government manage to take back the ''Colorado'', his crew will be exonerated (or at least receive a lighter punishment)--they can hardly be held responsible for his actions in this case.
