I've been rewatching Smallville and for much of it Lex is exactly Elon Musk (the Nazi), like it's uncanny for a show that came out over twenty years ago, but there's one episode in season 7 where in an alternate reality Lex becomes President with the technological assistance of BRAINIAC ("He knows those Computers better than anybody"). Uncanny doesn't even begin to cover it. You could lift most of the dialogue verbatim, swapping out only the names, and it would 1000% match up with our current reality. And it ends with nukes, so that's cool.
History keeps repeating itself because we’re too stupid to learn from it.
I’m watching The West Wing now and I got to the part about Gaza and NOTHING has changed since the 1990s.
I watched Babylon 5 during the original COVID lockdown and the episode about pandemics called out science deniers and how they make pandemics worse 25 years in advance!
I believe we've moved from the "tragedy" iteration to the "farce".
