I DVR’s it. It is set for my viewing when I get home from work...that and the Sarah Connor chronicles.
I am also interested in this topic.
>> that and the Sarah Connor chronicles.
I DVRed this weeks Connor Chronicles as well. I was impressed with last week’s episode.
With 24, The Unit, and Heroes on hiatus ... Sarah Connor’s all I’ve got.

It pretty much covered everything I was curious about. I know it was a two hour special, but I honestly wish it would have been longer and they would have spent more time going even further into the future. But it was great.
I saw the previews, and it sounded interesting, so I set the DVR to record it. It was recording when I came home, so I watched it live.
For the most part, it was good, but my critiques were not in the cold factual predictions of how, why and when certain things would collapse, but in the giddy spokespeople they had describing how glorious it would be for “insert other species here” if humans did not exist. One expert talked about the renaissance for cockroaches, another about the joys of being a 3rd generation post human seagull, another about being a feral housecat ... etc, etc.
The other thing that got really old was how they played special effects over and over and over. OK, watching how and why the Brooklyn Bridge, or Golden Gate Bridge would collapse (which, they would both collapse the same way), and then showing each animation 3 or 4 times, both before and after the commercial, as well as another 6 times in the commercials ... was a bit much. Yeah, I know the graphics were expensive to make, but sheesh. Same went for watching both the Eiffel Tower and the Space Needle come down. Could have shown just one of them, and done it half the number of times, and been just as effective.
The final thing that happened that I found funny was, as areas such as Manhattan reverted to nature ... they showed buildings collapsing, but then hills growing ... oh sure, the first assumption was that the hills were just the stubbs of the buildings all covered in grass, but that would mean that the decay would stop, which it would not ... what they did not add into thier equation is that a building is 1/3 as big underground as it is above ground, so Manhattan, rather than becoming hilly, would become the land of 1000 lakes (sorry Minnesota) as the sub-structures completed the decay from above, and eventually, the island would probably sink or at least become some form of bajou.
Sarah Conner chronicles ... Mrs Rainman had an interesting observation ... so, in the future we are going to be lead by a man that has women fight all his battles ... great message.
