I would've liked Life After People a lot more if it hadn't handwaved away the whole nuclear issue. OK so even assuming that everything will shut down safely... we're supposed to believe that all that incredibly dangerous stuff inside will rest in peace for eternity? While the actual buildings slowly break down? (On the positive side, look at the Exclusion Zone around Chernobyl. Nature seems to be doing pretty well, considering.)

But I understand the feeling - sometimes I just look at the stars and feel "whatever happens one day it will be all meaningless and all this here will end up out there in one form or another, and maybe it will be incorporated into something new."

For some reason, high levels of radiation can cause certain forms of plant life to flourish (though I wouldn't be able to tell you off the top of my head which species benefit from which radioactive isotopes). Survivors and observers of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki wondered at the shocking growth of plants only weeks after the cities were hit.

I also disliked how the entire premise was based on "what if all people just *poof* disappeared all at once." No assumption that there was a war or plague, no looking into the anarchy of the last few years and survivors, just *poof*. Made the whole thing a bit silly, IMO.

Haha, you take a longer view than I on that sort of thing. All it takes is a couple more generations, then you and I and everything we've done (probably; I'm assuming Average Joe lifestyles, which is what most people get) will be reduced to a name on a headstone, and even that might be so obscure to our descendants that they have to spend a year researching to ever uncover it. Heck, even certain Big Deals disappear in that time: for example, who today cares all that much about World War I? Historians and farmers who find decrepit artillery in their fields. Obviously its effects rippled throughout the following century since nothing happens in a vacuum, but WWI itself? Poof. Nada.
