I can’t state enough how much I have been enjoying this series and I almost wish I had found it sooner!! Everything about it is phenomenal and I could comment this on every episode if it wouldn’t be repetitive.

2019-05-22 18:54:39 +0000 UTCThe part with Jon's rib killed me, it was so hard not to laugh out loud. Great episode!

2019-05-22 18:11:35 +0000 UTCSeriously though, excellent statement, and I love Basira's delicious deadpan in this! Also now you've made me go look up the history of Flamsteed's rivalry with Halley. Regarding Halley stealing and printing Flamsteed's data: "400 copies were printed in 1712. Flamsteed later managed to burn 300 of them." That's some magnificently petty historical drama!
