#*when i say war on terror im using it w the knowledge that its a misnomer & displaces the united states' responsibilities btw

[perenial]

something i havent rly seen mentioned when it comes to comparing/contrasting book & tv omens is the different yet deeply interconnected contexts of conflict they emerged from and interact with: book omens was written towards the end and published in the immediate aftermath of the cold war and tv omens was/is produced during the denouement of the war on terror*, and these real world climates are intrinsic to how each iteration contends with war, nationalism, (bi)partisanship, pacifism & conscientious objection, and the institutions and movements that uphold or disrupt these constructs
