2 time travel to 2008 NYC to discover a virus has killed 93% of the World's population of 6.8 billion. Right below the 500 million listed on the destroyed Georgia Guidestones. Interesting.

The fact that they chose the exact number stands out.
Especially because that target number was not widely known to the general public back then.
Exactly. I was aware of the Georgia Guidestones at the time, but I didn't see the connection when I initially watched the show. Rewatching the series nearly 20 years later is an eye opener. Also, S01E10, a child with innate electrical manipulation with his mind was used to hack into electronic election machines in order to give someone a landslide victory when when, in fact, he was going to lose.
That's nothing.
I used to love this show called Sliders, where the protagonists hop to different universes where history has taken different paths.
In one, they land on a world where humanity took Paul Ehrlich's book "The Population Bomb" to heart, keeping the population under 500 million--by killing the excess.
Season 1, episode 10, "Luck of the Draw."
It stuck in my head because arguably the most underrated game show host ever, the late great Geoff Edwards, had a role in it.
Loved that series! A few of them stand out to me. S3 E10 Dead Man Sliding- justice is settled via reality game show. S3 E25 -Animal & human DNA fused. S4 E4 Virtual Slide- population governed by VR. S4 E7 Just Say Yes- where the earth encourages drugs & everyone is on them. S4 E12 The Dying Fields- where they hunt humans for sport. S4 E19 My Brother’s Keeper Where clones are harvested for spare body parts. Would love to rewatch this series…
See the Terry Gilliam movie “Twelve Monkeys”. There’s some predictive programming.
Excellent movie
Oh, damn ... YES, that was a good movie and I agree. I haven't even thought of the film for 20 years. Bruce Willis I believe.
