Yeah, way too heavy with crew interviews. The photography is
beautiful, but the amount of time spent on those interviews is just to
heavy compared to the operating video. And we need more discussion on
how stuff works in various parts of ship. Maybe it will come, but too
much human interest stuff so far.


I watched it last night, and was glad to hear from the crews for a change - particularly the enlisted ranks. You can find out about "how stuff works" anyplace any time, but unless you've been in the service and/or at sea yourself never hear much about the human side of life in the service or the hows and whys of that life...those of us that haven't served should be told more of that kind of thing about those whom do, IMO. I found the interviews a refreshing change from all the line-shots and tech.

....and I'd also be more interested to hear about mission and objectives over machinery...like when they turned back from heading to Korea.
