Thought of this scene every time they were discussing the possibility or certainty that the core had exploded.

I wasn't going to watch it because I thought it was too gruesome to watch. But I apparently left my tv on HBO from Sunday night's GoT's and saw half of it when I turned my tv back on last night. It caught my attention. It mesmerized me. It was good. So I am going to click on my HBOGo and watch it from the start—after I finish the Medici Series on Netflix. Nearly done with it already.

While they may have thought they were sacrificing their lives, which itself makes them heroic, they didn't actually die.

Saw the trailer and gave episode 1 a chance. Holy shit that was compelling well done TV. The inefficient and inept infrastructure of the Soviets to support the plant is as fascinating TV as the actual disaster.

Thought the first two episodes are fascinating on several levels. The main takeaway I got from the first two episodes is that a Communist government doesn’t give a rat **** about the people.

It really is astounding how the communist leaders just immediately said *raspberry* to experts warning that the reactor blew up because they thought the government could do no wrong and they don’t want to question it.

Yes. In concept, communism is supposed to be completely FOR the people. In reality, because the party was insulated from any consequences of an unhappy populace, and because power corrupts, they had no reason to give a damn about the sheep, and had a paternalistic attitude (without any love) for them in general.

The system was inherently built around fear. Trying to minimize or redirect any possible blame was built into the core of anyone within that society. There's a certain degree of that in any human, but in Soviet Russia it was exponentially more important not to be blamed for a ****-up of any significance.

The willingness of bureaucrats to ignore experts is stunning, but it's probably something they routinely did. They held all the power, and were probably used to overrunning the opinions of the technocrats.

I wonder how accurate the Gorbachev scenes are. So far, at least, they've portrayed him as fairly thoughtful and reasonable.

That was what he was known for.


Reagan and Gorbachev could actually talk to each other.
