Another great episode and conclusion to the show. One thing that really stood out throughout the series is how the haunting score went so well with the also excellent visuals to set the mood. [Reply]

Hildur Guđnadóttir did the soundtrack...she recorded all the string work in an abandoned plant.
Dyatlov was really shown in a shit light. What an asshole.
And Jarrad Harris should win awards for this. He was unreal. I thought it was cool how they did Emily's character being all the other scientists etc. [Reply]
I think my big takeaway was we human beings are flawed. We make mistakes. All of our bad traits/faults can come up at any time. None of us are perfect.
I posted recently that we know how to secure our data. As long as we spend the money and follow the basic security principles, there will be no loss of data. We have progressed with our tech that human beings are the weakest link in the security chain.
In my field the worst case scenario is some money, credit card, DOD secrets or temporary outage of society's infrastructure. With nuclear power plants, one persons human's failings can be catastrophic and fatal to millions depending on the location. [Reply]

Nuclear power can be catastrophic, but not really to that extent in the US as (ideally) we've built ours with so many fail safes that it couldn't really happen. [Reply]

In short, Dyatlov ****ed up majorly, the engineers knew it wasn't safe, but no one challenged him because they didn't want exiled from a prestigious and well-paying job.
I'm gonna check out that episode. Actually, the whole series looks pretty interesting. Thanks for the suggestion. [Reply]

What the **** have you been watching? We're smack dab in the middle of what may be the best period of television in history. It's literally impossible to not find something great to watch between all the programming coming out on all the different services. Hell, I only have Netflix and Prime and my backlog of shows is so long I'll never get it all in, and then there's the 50 hours of shit on my DVR from the last two years. [Reply]
