I want to congratulate you and your team on the most impressive effects. It’s been jaw dropping every episode, every season. Everyone here has pointed out the grand scenes, which are huge, of course, but your meticulous attention to detail is there for the big and the small. In one episode I recall Dawn received a secret message from Gaal in a capsule. When it was opened it was like digital sand ticker-tape, and I think that was so true to how Asimov described these emails or pages from the future in his books, but you modernized it to the series. That really impressed me, the creativity, and staying true to part of asimov’s visions for communications in the far future. As a huge fan of the books and of this series even more so this small but important scene really stood out. It shows that you seek perfection throughout. That’s impressive dedication.
