The last episode should be required viewing in engineering ethics classes.

Agreed. And on a lessor note, most engineers could learn a lot about how to talk to a crowd at their level. The show did an amazing job explaining technically how the accident happened. I'd researched it several years before and struggled to fully understand it.

Totally agree. I wrote this in the original thread:

The description of how the accident occurred by the two scientists was outstanding. It couldn't have been easy to create dialog to describe such a complicated event in an easily understandable way, while at the same time being dramatic and interesting.

I love it, but the one thing that keeps me from pushing this over BoB is the composite character Khomyuk.

She's a borderline Mary Sue, IMO.
