    I’m struggling to think of the movie which depicted this feeling perfectly, maybe there isn’t one and my brain’s just substituting for it.

    It feels as though every day is more predictable than the last, every piece of news comes more as a ticking off the list than as a surprise development. I imagine this is a slice of Purgatory in a way, to know the ills expecting you and being served nothing but, with essentially no variability in occurrences.

    This may be the first time when we’re not interacting with a Skinner box of a society, ffs, and it’s because THEY came back…

    Edit: it’s not Groundhog Day, that one sees things unfolding the same way every time until the character intervenes, this feels like everything’s new, but always predicted.

      It reminds me of the Terminator Zero.

      Let’s see in which timeline we end up…

        I think Terminator, yes! That idea that the future was already set and nothing could change it much. They kinda’ tried to hammer it home in the third, but they didn’t end up doing much with it.

        But yeah, that’s it. The downfall’s bad enough that it’s become predictable.
