Y2K Movie on TV

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

The tv movie Y2K, will be shown on Nov. 21 on NBC. TV Guide described it this way: Armageddon at the millennium. Ken Olin, a systems expert, fights to save the U.S.'s electronic infrastructure as the clock winds down and all hell breaks loose. Great timing with Thanksgiving so close!

How irresponsible can they get. they should have showed it last year. now they will panic people people. They should let those who are clueless enjoy their last Thanksgiving in peace before the end of the year. The networks are stupid and cruel. y2k is a threat and generating fear at the last minute is harsh.

Oh, please. How can anyone even *consider* that they would "panic people"?

You *know* the Story will have a Happy Ending.

Ron,

You're very good at that, I'm getting sleepy. ;-)

Seriously though, I fear this movie will be so ridiculous that preparers will have even more difficuly showing their faces in public.

Deborah, that is the whole point of the timing, of the presentation of the movie. The more prepared the population is as a whole, the less favoral response will be of the supposed "rescue" of the common man by our wonderful, "on-the-white-horse" government, with the institution of martial law. They want us to be wholly unprepared and vulnerable so they can "sweep us off our feet"...

Thralls anyone???

As always this is MHO, nothing more, nothing less. I am fully prepared to eat crow if nothing happens, and God I hope nothing happens....

Rook under glace'... the taste treat of the Millenium... I can only hope. Until then...

listenin' for unusual sounds...
