TEOTWAWKI A deadly shooting spree at a high school takes Black back to Seattle, where a powerful, close-knit group of citizens is setting its own agenda for the year 2000.

Ooooh, their own agenda - sounds like some of us forumites!

Infoman - It's a repeat. Was a discussion about it when it first aired, but I have no idea which catagory it's in.

I saw it Friday too. It was excellent. A few people might object to the "survivalist" angle, but these "survivalists" were computer programmers.

Generally the show tried to be balanced about Y2K. From a "GI" point of view, the best part of the storyline is that the group preparing for Y2K was doing so because, as computer professionals working on embedded systems in the power grid, they knew from their own testing that the grid would fail. And they knew there wasn't enough time left to deal with the embedded system problem.
