I watched the show last nite. It was interesting, but I never got the feeling that we're in imminent danger. According to scientists, the chances of something happening like this soon, is remote, although it has happened approximately every 640,000 to 800,000 years for the last three times. The last time the volcano erupted was nearly 600,000 years ago.

was it at least entertaining? I was planning on watching but forgot... I was half-hearted about it anyway, expecting a lot of PC crapola and liberal agenda (like the 'day after tomorrow' piece of excrement)

They also noted on the show that for every supereruption there are dozens of much smaller eruptions as well - something I have read before but is always left out of news/hype reports.

So we've got at least 40,000 years? Yawn. Wake me when it happens.
