Gen X here.

Can confirm relative time concepts. All the films/TV series I love were made in the 1980s or 90s regardless of when they were actually produced.

Watched Ultimate Force (UK TV series) yesterday, made in the nineties but references 11 September 2001 and other events then in the future etc.

Finally someone gets it. All I'm saying is that Burn Notice was ahead of its time! Regardless of what actual time has to say about it.

😁

I still don't get how they knew about 11 September. Answers on a postcard.

Personal hypothesis based on reality that everything I have experienced this century has been completely fucked!
