Rad Science too over the top?

[curlyskid104]

Personally, I like the Rad Science segment. Some of the science lingo is a little bit much, but I get most of it. I just did the light bulb experiment in my chem class the other day. I thought that was a funny coincidence. Plus, Dr. Kiki is much better looking than my chemistry teacher.

I really like the Rad Science too. The only thing I didn't like recently was the breaking up into three segments like they did in the last episode. To me, it seems they're trying to give less information on people in segments, which I guess is fine, but it shouldn't go past two. Hopefully they won't do it in future episodes.

I understand every word that comes of Doctor Sanford's mouth. But, she has to be careful to keep everything inside a small time-window. So, she doesn't have time for a lot of extra exposition.

solution: give Dr. Kiki her own show! Its smart that they split up her segment this week. It does make it a bit more coherent, instead of Dr. Kiki having to use 30 second sentences to try and fit in all the info in there.

reminds me of mythbusters..not sure if it's a bad or good thing.

Speaking of Mythbusters, what an awesome show.

Well, to be very specific, I didn't understand the talk about dvd's, break, then talk about blu-ray. Since there wasn't much more to say about both, it puzzled me. I love the fact that she mentioned about the eventual 100 GB of space though, cause that's why it beat out HD-DVD, and why I knew it would a long time ago.

It beat out HD-DVD for a number of reasons, the major one was movie companies switching sides and then the HD-DVD group just giving up, like canceling their CES stuff.

In any case, I agree with you that that break felt odd. Cause DVD and Blu-ray are very similar technology wise. I bet they filmed it all at once, and it made sense there before they split the parts. The first break made more sense, however I don't like the breaks in general. If she needs more time, let her have it. Kevin Rose was on Internet Superstar for Ad-tech (one of the only IS I've watched) and he said that one of the reasons he likes internet tv over traditional is that the hosts/producers are not completely stuck with the "You have exactly 5 minutes to talk about this then 5 for this" With IPTV, they are not on a strict schedule. Now yes, ideally the show would run around the same amount of time. But I liked that Kevin didn't want to try and limit the show/hosts/producers/etc.

Old habits die hard. popSiren seems to be very tied to a traditional TV format.

Personally, I think it's a bad thing. I thin Mythbusters has taken a downturn the past couple years...and one of the major issues is the network forcing them to spread each myth out throughout the hour rather than letting them focus on one until it's finished. (Not to mention the 'Coming up after the break...' and the like cutting into content time.)



I like the Kiki segments, but hate that they split them up in the last one.

Same can be said for most of Revision3 these days. Or, at least, they're trying to be that way.

my point exactly. Why try to re-invent TV in this medium? I want Rev3 to be a bit more forward-thinking than that.
