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.
How it feels
Each episode covers several recent discoveries and developments in science. The host presents stories about research that is fresh out of the lab, often touching on politics, art, and culture.

What happens
Nova ScienceNow (styled NOVĪ scienceNOW) was a spinoff of the PBS science program Nova that ran from 2005 to 2012. The series premiered on January 25, 2005, and was originally hosted by Robert Krulwich, who described it as an experiment in coverage of "breaking science, science that's right out of the lab, science that sometimes bumps up against politics, art, culture". At the beginning of season two, Neil deGrasse Tyson replaced Krulwich as the show's host. Tyson announced he would leave the show and was replaced by David Pogue in season 6. The show was intended to return with more new episodes in 2015. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
