"...worlds"

It seems like we've been in shock, and horror for a long while now. American Interment camps with brown kids locked in them out west. All the Planetary Climate disasters are picking up pace, and now we have a fucking Pandemic.

I escape into classic old science fiction novels, and movies. 
I suggest "Forbidden Planet" just watched it after some years. Fox network is coming out with a new version of "War of the Worlds"

This time the aliens,...we don't know who yet. 
Anyway these swell folks cut to the chase. They exterminate most of the people on Earth in five minutes,...just like that. 
Sort of an EMP, but for living things.  If you happened to be in a subway or sealed metal room you live. 

On reflection I don't see where this could go as a series. 

I mean the Human species has been made effectively extinct in the first half of the first episode.
Other than the usual shoot'em ups with whoever did this. I don't see a possible happy ending,...unless the trailer has misled as regards the body count. 

Even if da bad guys are defeated by human farts or just decide "...fuck it", and leave,...we're still all dead.

There I go applying rational logic to a TV show again.

One with writers making shit up as they go along. So it's just a jolly band of survivors vs who knows what. 
Seems from the set up it's going to be a character driven series,...which is fine if the writing's good. 

A soldier asks,"...why do they kill us." A love interests answers,"...for the same reason we do."

Eh,...Okay.

Well I have nothing to do this Spring.
So why not yeah I'll watch. At least till it gets too stupid. 
How many times can we watch characters we don't care about be chased around dark caves by assorted space monsters. 

I always end up rooting for them scary guys from Planet X.

Meanwhile.

The Spanish Flu part II will be laying waste everything outside of my windows. 
Btw the Worker's Paradise North Korea has shot dead their first three cases of Covid-19. Iran is suspected of doing the same tho' not shot...they um...might have "euthanized" their first Coronavirus cases.

This is how it was traditionally done during the Black Death. 
I think they used swords though. It's a tad drastic especially for the patient,...but it works. I image #45 might look favorably on this sure, and economically sound solution.

Such times huh?

Sort of explains my lack of good news.
If anybody has any tell me in the comments,...I'm dying to know.
