I have literally never heard anyone else say he lacks charisma and PR skills, the dude went from a nobody star dork to an insanely iconic scientist.

Nicely delivered there. I knew how the development of the eye started but I didn't realize how life beginning in the oceans still affects us.

This episode I think absolutely justifies everything they put into the CGI and effects. As far as being able to actually visualize the evolution of the eye, that was the best I've ever seen.
