Overview

• Season 2 of 'The Rehearsal' shifts its focus from personal rehearsals to systemic aviation safety, particularly pilot and co-pilot communication failures.
• The latest episode features Fielder’s immersive reenactment of Sully Sullenberger’s life, testing whether personality traits crucial to aviation safety can be replicated.
• Fielder hypothesizes that Evanescence’s 'Bring Me to Life' may have influenced Sully’s decision-making during the Hudson River landing, though the claim remains speculative.
• The season employs surreal production techniques, including oversized puppets and elaborate set designs, to heighten the absurdity of its experiments.
• Fielder identifies systemic barriers in aviation, such as FAA mental-health policies discouraging pilots from openly expressing concerns, as a root cause of cockpit communication issues.
