The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Strange World is an American sci-fi crime drama television series created by Howard Gordon and Tim Kring for ABC. 13 episodes were commissioned, of which three aired on ABC in March 1999 before the network cancelled the program. The remaining ten episodes produced subsequently premiered on Sci-Fi in Spring 2002. In a web-chat during the 2002 run on Sci-Fi, Gordon stated that, since the producers felt ABC was not going to support the show, they had the opportunity to write a conclusion to the story.
