I missed “Avenue 5” when it aired, sounds like I shouldn’t have.
HBO:
Set 40 years in the future, Avenue 5 follows the captain and crew of a luxury space cruise ship as they navigate disgruntled passengers and unexpected events after experiencing technical difficulties onboard.
In the clip above, some of the passengers refuse to accept the situation, and convince themselves that they are being lied to, and that home and safety lie right outside the airlock.
Pretty apt metaphor for the situation, and all the more horrifyingly credible now that we’ve been thru covid.
Above is the so-called “Airlock” Scene. Some passengers decide that the powers that be are lying to them, they are actually still on earth, fresh air and freedom are just outside the airlock, and resolve to expose the fraud.
There is actually a short clip that gives a little more lead-in context.
I dunno.
I’m really sick of this Trump Administration simulation.
That airlock option is starting to look like a pretty good alternative to me.
