I meant to watch that show last night. I'll watch it again when they re-run it.

Movies like that should be taken with a grain of salt. Linda like last year's "The Day After Tomorrow".

It was pretty good: Played the politician (coverup/minimize threat/keep public calm)-against-scientist (hedge bets/not sure what will happen/worst case = maybe/best case = might be/we don't know) interface with the news media pretty well.

A little dramatic (the underground lava-flowing scenes got tedious and weren't needed except at breaks), but overall reasonably but.

Yes. It WILL absolutely happen. We just don't know when.

I like the "interview-after-fact" style of "news show" format with the people who were playing the parts at the same time they were being interviewed. Well done. It made the red-shirt extra's predictable though: Who gonna die next? Who's gonna live through this scene?

The "timeline" was a bit short: Implying that a full volcano could flip up and erupt within a space of only 2 months is not likely: Over a two-three year period si reasonable.

Science questions: Wasn't the eruption and massive explosive volcanic release that blew the top off of Crater Lake even larger than Yellowstone?

Was the Crater Lake volcano over the same "hot spot" that is now heating up Yellowstone?
