SUMMARY

The TV series "Constellation" explores the concept of Schrödinger superposition, where astronauts experience alternative realities, leading to significant personal dilemmas. This narrative framework draws parallels to the film "Sliding Doors," emphasizing the impact of choices on different life paths. Viewers express frustration with the video format that narrates over the entire episode, preferring original content for a more authentic experience. The discussion highlights a trend where individuals seek quick summaries, such as Wikipedia synopses, over traditional reviews.

Summary of the TV series Constellation in which astronauts get into a state of Schrödinger superposition thus getting into alternative realities, much to their consternation.

I guess it would be all about interfering with your alternates.
 
Sounds like a new version of Sliders?

I find the format of the video linked very annoying. They narrate over an entire episode. Eh. If I have to sit through a half hour to get what's going on I want the original. It's a bit like somebody spending an hour telling me what's for lunch.

I didn't listen to it. I went to the Wikipedia page to get a synopsis in a couple of minutes. I pay no attention to reviews of anything. I can make up my mind on my own. And I never watch TV or movies so spoilers are what I want.

I think reviews of music in particular are passe. These days I can listen to 30 seconds of what an artist produces and know more than any review could ever tell me. I once actually was offered a "job" reviewing music but no way I was going to do that. Well actually I said yes but they didn't get back to me for months and by then I'd come to my senses.

The film "Sliding Doors," has this as a premise.
