Part 2 of the NBC Series

the Black Hat-White Hat , glaring , “obvious” evil vs “believers” who all listen intently to all the “harvesting” of the “end times verses” (actually, I never believed, even when I was a pre-millineal, pre-Trib, rapture-spouting Christian, that Jesus was born again as a Baby at the end times.)

THis is pretty much Omen meets Left Behind, with some of those “extras” added by some of the developments oveer the 30 years or so since The Omen was playing. The evil forces are “Satanist” with glaring eyes (they glow in the dark when you look at them at a certain angle— like the “fashion model/demon ladies on the plane staring at Bill Pullman(Massey) as he talks to the nun.” (Actually, there probably aren’t that many actual nuns who swalow the whole end times scenario as put forth here. But it always seems to make heavy use of Catholic and Greek orthodox Churches with big, traditonal cathedrals, and both the demons and the girl in a trance are speaking Latin.)

Anyway, I now will probably watch the rest of it, although my curiosity has taken a different turn now. Now I’m waiting to see how else the story can be popularized and how the good vs evil plays out.

    You’d probably be right. There are a bunch of anti-Left Behind/Hal_Lindsey books on Amazon written by Catholics. Of course, they inject their Catholic church triumphalism (hey, I’m Protestant!) into their argument, but their scholarship is at least sound.
