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

Odyssey 5 is a Canadian science fiction television series, which was shown in 2002 on Space in Canada and on Showtime in the United States. The premise involves five space travelers who witness the destruction of the Earth; they are given the opportunity to travel to the past to identify and prevent the cataclysm. Odyssey 5 was created by Manny Coto, who was a writer and executive producer during the series' short-lived run. Through his website and in interviews, Coto expressed his interest in reviving the series, but it ultimately never materialized after his death on July 9, 2023. The series was produced in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
