| Damn, but your post says what no one will say: there's something really self-indulgent about a show that presents inconvenience as a dramatic premise. I was laughing out loud at your synopsis because it's spot on. Planes land, people wait. Oh, the humanity. Okay. Meanwhile, back in NYC. Acquiring patience wasn't a first order of business. Since we're dealing with truthspeaking, subjectively speaking: What sticks in my craw about the pilot song. It's narcissistic, at its core. It's all about her, not how being a pilot changed forever for a great swath of the profession. Of course she's not required to offer sweeping insights. But telling her story, because she's grounded, is part of your bigger point. She reflects on ... herself ... as the world is on fire. I guess it's human nature, but as you note, why does she get this big chunk of a 90 minute show? To offer a feminist (fine) paean to her career (to what purpose, without 9/11's questions?) |
