^^ that proves that I'm not the only viewer, which is good to know.

I look forward to these popping up in my feed reader every day. Hope you find a way to continue after the election season is over.

Ohhhhh Kayyyy.

New cameras. Better angles. A little more interest than the old "face-on fits all" approach. Some animation in the principals, lending some needed life to an otherwise static presentation (where are the popsicle-stick placards of old?). But the side-angle backdrops? Is this some Uma Thurman, Kill Bill vol. 3 look? If so, Mercurio needs a black shirt.

Nevertheless, a little bit too subtle in the first three minutes? So Tim the King proclaims it over? Later in the show the Hotline headline shows that he's not a ding-dong about that, or at least not alone.

At 3:10 we finally get a little explicit analysis -- "wisdom before it's conventional." Maybe it's not over, because there's still a lingering doubt.

So, on the whole, a mixed show. Some improvements, some not so much.
