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

Alaska State Troopers is an American documentary television series that originally aired on National Geographic Channel from October 14, 2009 to April 15, 2015. Narrated for its first 8 seasons by Marc Graue, the show follows the daily beats of various bureaus within the Alaska State Troopers. In addition, the show features segments that follow village public safety officers from small rural villages as well as officers from other cities such as Wasilla, Palmer, Anchorage, and Soldotna. The show follows the exploits of a number of officers from all regions of the state. Troopers who are seen on the show include James and Anne Sears, Howie Peterson, Jon Simeon and Brent Johnson, Scott Quist, Odean Hall, Lonny Piscoya, Luis Nieves, Dan Dahl, Rick Roberts, Abraham Garcia, Dan Cox, Gabe Rich, Michael Munson, Jonathan Stroebele, Joshua Varys, JJ Hennessey, Melvin Colley, Ken Van Spronsen, Daron Cooper, Lance Ewers, Jared Noll, Terrence Shanigan, Blake Calhoun, Brandon Viator, Tony Wegrzyn, William Connors, Jimmy Buttrey, Kamau Leigh, and Garrett Frost. Although the show is aired in many countries, the National Geographic Channel has so far not released DVDs of the series outside of the United States. The fifth season premiered on September 15, 2013. The sixth season premiered on April 10, 2014. After a total of 8 seasons the series was not continued, because "It was just time to focus on the job of providing public safety without any added outside distractions". A new 10-episode season of the show, its first in 10 years, premiered on A&E on January 7, 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
