Yikes, this show is going to be an incredibly difficult watch, but it is SO beautifully done that I can't stop watching!

Sounds like you are into it. You are with many in saying incredibly difficult to watch but can't stop watching. We appreciate/understand what you are saying/feeling. Putting on your reaction shortly.

Hi Lite, I found your YouTube channel a little while ago and adore you. I became a patron last month. I was hoping that you or another patron might be able to assist. I’ve watched a few full length reactions and several times the player with you and the blurred screen with the timer seems to freeze for a couple seconds and then comes. I sync my copy, but then it will happen again multiple times. I do watch alongside with a couple other patrons with this player and don’t have the same issue. Does anyone k know what I can do or what adjustments I need to make on my end that might fix this issue? Thanks in advance!!

Hey Tara. I am far from a tech expert, but if you’re watching Teegan’s full reaction videos on your phone, and your phone has a low amount of available storage, it may cause the playback to freeze from time to time. I had the same issue with my older iPhone (along with some other issues). When I went to AT&T to ask why this might be happening, he said it may be because the phone I had was older and my storage was almost full. Since I upgraded to the iPhone 15 and have much more storage I haven’t had those issues. You may not even be watching her full reactions on your phone, but if you are you may want to look into that.

I haven’t even started to watch along with you yet, and I’m already starting to stress out after reading your posts for the first two episodes. I’m planning on starting tonight since I have off tomorrow. I may need the time to decompress.

I love this episode. After the first, you think you're watching a story about just unbelievable scumbags (and you are)... but after this one you realize it's a story about unbelievable heroism, too.

Tara -- I watch her reactions on a relatively new Dell PC (desktop). I have a extra widescreen and will watch her reaction along side my stream of the movie on the same monitor (same PC). In some of her early full reactions (not too many), her stream of the movie would become behind say 1-4 seconds (maybe because her stream of the movie buffered occasionally -- and maybe a couple of times I saw the freeze you mentioned). I did not find it that distracting because was easy to re-sync by simply pausing briefly my stream of the movie. When her stream of the movie becomes behind say only 1-2 seconds, some patrons may not notice it. Are you having an issue with more recent full reactions? I really don't. But I will occasionally check to make sure the sync is still good. Note, if goes out of sync, I never seen her ahead but instead only behind (by a small amount). Again, however, I don't really see that anymore -- maybe I don't notice -- but I think the issue is resolved.

It is so scary. "... all victories inevitably come at a cost." Agree that the line “something that has never occurred on this planet before” is striking (puts the situation into perspective). That line is referring to what was happening inside the reactor. The sand melted into lava. The lava is still there. Lava doesn’t burn off. Lava can solidify but does not burn off. The high-range dosimeter did not max out. I remember when Europe detected the radiation. I was a chemical engineering student in college in 1986 and understood the significance of what was happening at Chernobyl. Terrifying. The Chernobyl incident (1986) was before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War in 1989. As you may know, Gorbachev won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990 for easing Cold War tensions. I remember the Gorbachev/Reagan meetings (summits). You are only the 2nd reactor I've seen who recognized Gorbachev (even with the distinctive birthmark) or even seem to know who he was.

The helicopter crash did not hit the crane, it was due to the high level of radiation shorting the electronics on the craft. Furthermore the helicopter crash did happen, but not this early, it happened roughly six months later. But was such a harrowing visual they included it here.

scott osborne

o my episode 2 already my goodness your keeping your self like a busy little bee i would of thought it would of been a could of days before ep2 to get over the events of ep 1 but nope here we go diving in to the show like a champ good on you holy crap they believe someone only took 1 and a half episodes

That last scene is one of the most horrifying things to watch. These poor sods, knowing they are essentially doomed, in heavily irradiated water, with a burning nuclear reactor overheard, the Geiger counter going crazy as you can feel just how many gamma, beta and alpha particles are bombarding these guys every nanosecond. And then the lights go out on their torches, and they are in total darkness. Terrifying. There is only two things I believe done for dramatic license in the show, one is the helicopter collapsing as it looks like it got too close to the exposed core, when in fact the helicopter that fell got trapped in overhead electrical wires/pylons. The second is Emily Watson's character. Everyone in the show is based on someone from the events that took place; she is a made up character who is acting as a lot of the scientific officials who tried to help get this under control and find out what went wrong. Other than that, the very real threat of this, is not hyped up. Europe definitely was in danger here because of this. There has been two extremely severe nuclear reactor disasters so far, Fukushima and Chernobyl. A lot was learned from Chernobyl such that Fukushima, though bad, could have been far far worse. The two main elements to worry about it seems (though there are others), is Caesium-137 and Iodine-131 - hence the Iodine tablets with the latter as they help absorb some of that radiation as it enters the body. They both have half-lives of under 30 years, hence why some animals may be beginning to come back to the area relatively unexposed. In the nearby town of Pripyat which is featured here, I think you can go for a walk around it in a group, but its not recommended to touch anything. And of course, its not advised to stick around the site at the plant for very long even with protection, to this day. The Elephant's Foot is a mix of metals, components from the reactor, sand (from what was done in this episode) and other materials, that melted for thousands of degrees for days under the reactor floor as it seeped into pipes and travelled through 6 feet of reinforced concrete too. By 1996 when it was visited it was becoming brittle as the radioactivity decayed. Its still radioactive, but far less than it was, though of course its still not advisable to hang around it long. Its believed to have the consistency of sand now. The theories and understanding of nuclear fission and fusion, is a fantastic achievement for mankind; how we can generate power for millions, heck billions, in an efficient manner. However, as with generating a thermonuclear bomb, the devastation these things can cause when fired or in an accident such as this, shows the worst side to our vanity.

Hi Clay, sounds like you have a good set up. I actually watch my copy of the movie or show on my TV which is on the wall and then I have my laptop set up on a TV table where I have the reaction on fullscreen. The laptop is only a couple feet in front of me, but the monitor is lined up so it looks like they are side by side even though the TV is 12’ in front of me on wall. I’ll try to post a picture in the chat

Tara ✨💫

Thanks Dan, I’m actually using a fairly new laptop, but have cleared up some storage

I saw a YouTuber with a degree in nuclear engineering react to this series. He felt that the part about the thermonuclear explosion caused by the "lava" coming into contact with the water to be far fetched. He felt that while it would cause an explosion it wouldn't be nearly that catastrophic. But, overall he did feel the series was pretty accurate.

As for the idiots who think you are faking it. All reactors get comments like that, don't take any notice of it. It is a brave thing to put yourself out there on the internet, as there are some funny weird people around - myself included! :) - but yes, those sods are quick to judge, but don't have the bottle to do this themselves. My recommendation if you feel run down after heavy episodes, or a film, is to watch a favourite episode of a comedy you like, or a few scenes. Or play a favourite game for a bit. That'll help lighten your mood. I'm similar that when something does affect me, I dwell on it too much.

Also if you want to rewatch reactions for later, download a good video downloader program, and you can synch up Teegan's reactions with your own copy of shows/films, using a free video editor (I use VSDC and have had no issues with that when I was synching up hundreds of the Star Wars animations on another reactor lol!). It can be a bit time consuming, but once you get the hang of it, its easier to do this encoding, than have to open windows and try to get the timing right for each reaction.

Dan M

This series is so much more disturbing than I anticipated. Like you, I did not realize how close this event came to being a global disaster. I’m definitely going to need to read up on it after the series is over.

Dan M

Teegan, if you’re “faking” your emotional reactions, then you are the most talented actress I’ve ever seen, and you should move out to Hollywood to begin your new career on the silver screen. Please ignore the naysayers and just keep being yourself. I don’t love your reactions because you’re just staring at the screen and talking gibberish. I can do that myself at work. You have the most insightful, intelligent, and emotionally charged reactions I have personally experienced from a reactor. And that’s why I will be a fan for as long as you grace us with your reactions.

Clay. I've found this to be a common problem with many reactors, that they videos seem to be slightly slower than a real copy. I don't know why, if it's encoding slowing it down when the video is uploaded or whatever, but I do have a fix if you are mildly technically inclined. First make sure you have opened the video you want to watch in it's own window, that is don't play it from the main list of videos where there are several videos as that will confuse the process. Then press F12 on your keyboard to open a debug sidebar, in that sidebar there are multiple buttons at the top, click on the one called console, once there you will have the option to type in text. You will want to type in $('video').playbackRate = 1.0425, this will set the video to be 4.25% faster which I have found to be the number that fits 90% of the time, but it can be changed if needed. You can close the sidebar when you've entered the command. Hope that helps.

By the way, while the situation was definitely catastropic, the predictions overall in 1986 of what the consequences would be were worse than what actually turned out to be. Though, I am not belitting the actual consequences (massive and horrible).

Clay F

Agree Dan. It's about perception, not reality. If a viewer perceives her as acting when she is genuine, there is nothing she can or should do about it.

Baldemort

The helicopter did crash due to the blade hitting the cranes cable, you can quite literally see the blade snag the cable in the show. The pilot flew directly into the smoke and didn't see the crane.

Baldemort

Who tf says you are faking it? I see comments like this on every reaction channel. Also don't even go to reddit. Lots of woman hating men in the reaction space who hate watch abd boast about how you reactors somehow all go to acting school.

Dan M

Anyone who thinks she’s faking it is probably devoid of any emotional range themselves.

Eric

"I feel like I'm in an Alien movie" I was just thinking the same thing and then you said it.

PHILLIP CORNISH

In reference to the wildlife you mentioned I visited the plant in 2017 and had to go via two check points to get the exclusion zone. There was plenty of wildlife and tress. Nature as taken over the whole area today. I hope people understand that we came so close to losing the whole of Europe and most of eastern block. Be strong, You will learn a lot about life and relationships after watching this.

1 of the divers passed 19 years ago, the other 2 are still alive today.

novuspayne

never feel bad for crying watching a show like this, it was written to cause heartache fitting for what an immense tragedy Chernobyl was and is today
