Episode 1: FIRE AND BRIMSTONE [DISCUSSION]

[krazy_kaos]

I kinda liked it.

I wonder if anyone knows the name of the song in the end of the episode.

Really didn't like this.
The attempt at "comedy" with the line about vampire movies was lame and quite frankly a little insulting that you wouldn't give the audience a little credit.

Also...bad experiment with a bad result. Not impressed.

Please give your audience more credit, this is insulting to our intelligence.

...also, what was that song at the end?

That song was great...
ANd I can't find the name of it anywhere.... maybe we should open a post about it...

I agree with the previous posters. This first episode was pretty lame. Lots of disjointed pacing, an unwanted stab at audience intelligence (are there any Rev 3 viewers that actually like Twilight?), no real explanation behind the reaction, or its uses, and a song at the end that was completely opposite the flow of the show.

Also: six minutes? Screw that.

Here's hoping the next few episodes get much better.

Just thought I'd chip in with a response to everyone who's been calling the show "insulting": the show is actually produced by Household Hacker , who's pretty big on the YouTubes. In fact, he's the #25 most subscribed person of all time. And since he's a YouTuber, mentioning Twilight and teaching basic chemistry must be kind of normal since his young viewership (most of the comments on this episode just mention the ad for Netflix, sellout etc. etc.)

I did find the show entertaining to a degree, but it just screams YouTube: not of a high intelligence or quality. There are plenty of other YouTube phenomenoms you could take in that would be much better than this, please.

I failed to see the point of why you would do this experiment. There should have been more information as to why you would do this. Also the history should have been given as to how this process was used in the past. After watching this I had no desire to go out and try it myself.

I am excited to see this show develop and get better with time.

this will be a cool show if it became a sort of opposite to Joe Genius. whereas Joe Genius shows us stupid stuff no one should try, this should should show us things that are fun that we CAN actually try.

The experiment wasn't that great but then again if you want fire and brimestone then organic chemistry is the way to go (since some of the reactions can be explosive)

Actually I found quite a few things I decided to research further from Joe Genius and then try under controlled circumstances.

I can not say I could do better than the presenter, but a little more pathos and background info would have been nice.
