NatGeo's How to Survive the End of the World series returns tonight at 10pm Eastern (with repeat at midnight and tomorrow at 6pm Eastern) with its fourth episode, "Monster Storm," and, yep, I've made my way to that bunker again, in an undisclosed location (but it's in a catacomb in Brooklyn), to give a little "expert" commentary on the media and cultural implication of the planet nearly wiped out.You may recall that I did this for the first three episodes - "Zombie Earth," "Hell on Earth" (volcanoes), and "Frozen Earth" (see vid clips below) - and it's been a wild two months in the ravaged streets, let me tell you. What happens is after my expert commentary, I walk through a door, but it takes me into another dimension. So I've gone from a world plagued by zombies to a hellish world of molten lava everywhere to a world with bone-chilling temperatures that make the last two months that you've just experienced feel like a walk in the park.
It's good to be in the bunker again, with that Monster Storm approaching. I'm glad to see David Bartell has made it too, with the extensive packet of notes he carries. Switching hats to another perspective, for a second, these scenario shows are based on sound scientific and sociological analysis and speculation.
Anyway ... the rain's beginning to pick up, I'm going to see if there's anything decent to eat in this bunker, and I'll see you tonight (I hope) at 10pm. In the meantime, clips from the previous three episodes follow ...
