The happy, light-hearted Dinosaurs sitcom from the early 90s ended with the ice-age reaching the story and the implication is all the characters die from it. A dark ending for such a show! I think they ended it with a warning applicable to us.
Dad wrote:I guess I owe the rest of you an apology too. You know, for bringing on the end of the world and civilization and everything. And I know I put too much faith in progress and technology. And had too little respect for nature. But it's so easy to take nature for granted because it's always there. And technology is so bright and shiny and new.
Despite the story being about a big corporation causing climate change, bringing about the ice age, I found the dialogue here surprisingly honest and anti-"progress" for something released on mainstream TV (even if it was released in an objectively less politically polarized and heavy-handed time period compared to today). I'm sure that wasn't their intention, I'm sure the intended message was early liberal climate change messaging but I think they unintentionally told the truth; The Powers That Be drive us towards anti-nature society, and "progress" with tech obsession isn't really progress and is killing society.
