You speak, of course, of the Yellowstone Caldera documentary?

I thought it was interesting, but that's because it pointed up something that I hadn't known about.

It did err on the side of (POTENTIAL) DOOM, but I suspect an hour of them saying, "Well, the error bars are such and such, and the eruption is only posited, so no need to worry," does have the unfortunate effect of not putting bums in the seats and eyeballs toward the screen.

And I think that's a substantial part of what they're about--if they could make goldfish into a ratings bonanza, I think they would.
