Stand back, this could get messy.

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.

Yeah, seeing the "dimple" expand into the eye and the formation of the lens was really cool.

It isn't. The theory he just parroted isn't widely accepted.

Can you just start talking about how few scientific studies NDT has published so we can get it over with?

Hollywood my suspension of disbelief is seriously being strained into thinking that the Browns can build a championship calibar team and that Brown's draft day is not a depressing alcohol abusing day of pain.

Also I hope Neil talks about trilobites this episode; mainly because I've been working on them for my undergrad project.

I mean hell I've been told by my adviser that we are the first to describe a specific part of a trilobite :stare:
