Having been on the pointy end of this business for damn near thirty years I
can tell you that that only thing blatantly obvious is the S-8mm sequences
are nothing more than just one form of the countless artistic "hooks"
designed to separate one show, or series from rest.
It works. But it's nothing more than a tool. Fortunately, with this show,
there are a few good craftsmen that know how to use all three format "tools"
that this particular show is shot on.
