Amazon creators: “Hey everybody! Look at this cool thing we did!” Tom (in the most unpretentious tone possible): “That’s nice, guys. Here, let me show you how it’s done.” That was very impressive. You identified a specific shortcoming based on a theoretical abstraction of good storytelling, applied that theory to conceive of an elegant solution, and then actually created the improved version. That takes real expertise.

Excellent, Tom. I have tried to watch that series and had to give up. Can you take over for the series? (wink) There is just so much wrong. From people surviving a direct Volcano blast to the lack of knowledge in simple metal fabrication, It is blatantly insulting to our intelligence. You, are being very kind, Amazon funded critics, have not been so kind to us devoted fans and our concerns.
