And so there's so much of that that's like, oh, we need to
You've got to pull that out of the can where we can pick that up with the camera.
And so that's a lot of the adjustments was trying to learn how to do the science and make it work for the camera guys so that we can give them their sexy shot that's going to bring ratings to the television show.
I know what we filmed, and then just like the regular viewers, I'm sitting down on television, and you have to realize that we filmed all summer, and that's condensed down to eight, I don't know what they are, 45 or 50-minute episodes.
So you're taking weeks and weeks and weeks of filming and editing it down for 45-minute episodes.
And so there are a lot of β I think the frustrating thing with the whole production is, first of all, I think that Prometheus did a wonderful job.
I want to be clear that I think they did a great job of trying to balance showing the viewer the science that's going on but putting it in a format that's going to be watchable for 95% of the people that are not β
Those of us that are in the science, we want the details.
We could do without the drama, without the buildups and that.
We want to know what are the facts here?
What's the data?
What are you seeing?
That's what's important.
But you have to understand that 95% of the viewers are coming home from work.
They're kicking their feet up.
