@judgedread I think the practical effects like that are always fascinating. There's kind of a flat sameness to a lot of the computer-generated ones.

Incidentally, you know how the "computer" model of the city was done in Escape from New York, right? (It was cheaper to cover the models with white tape so they looked like vector images, then shine a green light on them.) Alex Jones has been using these backgrounds that look a lot like those, but not quite; it turns out that they are intentional, as a reference to the movie, but to avoid licensing issues they generated their own instead of borrowing footage. So the effects from a movie intended to imitate a computer display were then imitated by an actual computer for the show.
