Wayne Eddy, and gang, Yeah, Life After People was a fun show, though I had no actual control over it. In fact, I think the time scales are 10-100x too short. It was tasty that they left it vague WHY we were gone. We might even have become gods and simply moved away!
Anyway, it got huge ratings so there'll be a spinoff series! db ________________________________ From: Wayne Eddy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Killer Bs (David Brin et al) Discussion <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2008 11:41:24 AM Subject: Brin: Life after People "Life after people" screened here in Australia last night. It was interesting to watch after reading all the comments on the list a while back. The narration seems to have been redubbed - I think to try and give it more of an Australian flavour, so perhaps it has been totally re-edited. From memory there were about five interview snippets with our patron, including the very first one. At one point the narrator said something along the lines of "it is inevitable that one day that mankind will disappear from the world". That may be true, but IMHO that time is a long way off and the Earth, the biosphere & building design, etc., will be changed beyond recognition by that time and that any predictions should take that into account. The segment about abandoned city near Chernobyl was very interesting. It would an interesting project for someone to take a series of photos over the next fifty or a hundred and then make it into a time lapse film.
