    There was an episode of Mork and Mindy where Mork meets Robin Williams. This line is spoken:
    "When you're a celebrity, everybody wants a piece of you, sir. Unless you can say no, there'll be no pieces left for yourself. To get that, you have to pay a very heavy price. You have responsibilities, anxieties, and to be honest, sir, some of them can't take it."
    Knowing now that Robin Williams actually committed suicide in Aug 2014, that line sure resonates

    "Murder in Small Town X" was a murder mystery reality show where contestants were given clues and tried to figure out who the killer was, and the losers were "hunted down" by the killer. That's not the disturbing part. This is: The finale aired on September 4, 2001. The winner of the $1 million prize was a man named Angel Juarbe. His occupation? New York City firefighter. He would die responding to the tower attacks when the first tower collapsed a week later.

Her character, who comes from a broken home, is seen with a black eye. The black eye was real. She was in an abusive relationship, and the man would, sadly, ultimately take her life.

    Static shock (2000) tackles serious issues like poverty, bullying, homelessness, school shootings, crime, gang related violence, riots, etc. An episode in Static shock was about Jimmy, a nerdy and quiet boy who was always bullied, but nothing was done to prevent it. He felt that the only way for the bullying to stop was by killing his bully. He brought his dad's gun to school and pointed it at his bully. No one was hurt, but only Richie was injured. I think the episode was aired 2 years after the Columbine shooting.

    You should do the same one about movies.
    I have a movie one.
    It is about a movie from 2011 called "Contagion".
    The premise is that a man (Matt Damon) discovers his wife (Gwyneth Paltrow) dead after she fells ill after coming back from a trip.
    The next day, his son gets ill and dies.
    Suddenly, it is revealed that a new deadly disease killed them, and others are dying now. It is a contagious deadly disease.
    In the movie, some of the following things happen:-
    (1) It is caused by touching an infected person or they touch you, or something that the infected person touched.
    (2) It becomes a global disease, sweeping the world and there is mass panic.
    (3) They have a scene of hundreds dead in the streets from the disease, which was reported happening during COVID.
    (4) Another character in the film is played by Jude Law. He plays a conspiracy theorist who thinks the whole thing is a hoax and it is made up by government to control people.
    (5) At the end of the fllm, it shows how the wife caught the disease. She got it by shaking hands with a chef who hadn't washed his hands, and he had been making food that had been eaten by a bat.
    It is amazing how close this film gets to predicting COVID-19. It is a fantasy film and this was nine years before COVID-19 struck the world. Eerie.

      I watched it during the first lockdown in the UK, because it was at that "laugh or cry" stage of disbelief. I also watched Outbreak. Both hit too close to what actually happened to be comfortable. More especially Contagion than Outbreak, but bow HOWDY watching both one after the other was just slightly terrifying.
      Also, re: Jude Law's character, don't forget that he tries to peddle a drug that he KNOWS isn't a cure, because he'll make money off of it.

And he thought about it, looked at me and said, 'Tom, I'm not at liberty to reveal the details on such a scenario. To the best of my knowledge it hadn't been. But next time we meet it will be.'"
    That was Tom Clancy and he was interviewed about such a plot being rejected by his editor for being too farfetched. I was there, this was right on September 12th Australian time so the evening of the 11th, around 8-9 PM depending on your time zone.
    No conspiracy here. Bin Laden confessed. Nothing from the Taliban, Al Qaeda, refuting his admission. But Clancy said it, he ran the idea by one of his chiefs of staff friends, that is a fact.

I guess not really many TV shows explored that theme, but other than that that particular theme of an all watching computer, super surveillance system has been done by plenty of times. Even in comics, there was a thing called Brother Eye. Even in the Dark Knight movie, they had a similar system that tracked and spied on everyone so Batman could find Joker that Fox ended up destroying in the end because of ethical reasons.

Then it was changed to warming, and in developed countries, we're all too well fed, and there is still plenty of room and housing. That's the reason I refuse to go into panic mode over climate predictions. Yeah, there is a little warming, but climate(s) are always changing. I call myself an anti-catastrophist.
