The first episode of Cold Lazarus was shown this week. The most irritating 
part was when they were trying to read out the memories from the frozen 
head, saw its terminal moments, and then got visions of an out of the body 
experience and then a (near) death experience. The death experience showed 
the rotating tunnel with a welcoming figure at the end, and then there was 
a cry of anguish as Feelds was sucked back from the light at the end by the 
cryonic process.

NDEs have been explained in purely natural and physical terms, and 
Potter's play is clearly innacurate except as a work of fantasy.

Otherwise, the vision of the future seemed poorly conceived - for example 
the characters were in these moving chairs to get around the room rather 
than using their legs!
