I really think the Hell episode was the best so far. I think a lot of things contributed.
First, the Racing was GOOD. Much better races with a lot more important turning points than usual.
Next, I think the camera work benefited from us revamping the way Camera 3 works. Racer's camera scripts now give some really good options, and combined with Texas work on CAM1 I think this means future episodes will be better, and we'll follow the action more.
Last, I think even though Wae's big long message about "how to do things" helped. Even though we all decided in the end to "just have fun and make no changes", I think her mail made us all think about how the commentary works. There was more focus on the Races... Slip did some great commentary and so did Salem.
I put together a "5 minute clip" of the final. If everybody is nice to me, I'll show you how to embed these in your postings. :-)
One of the best final of races i saw it! great great final race!, so sad Tindy was going to win her first final race.. and in last last moment... from the top of the ramp...

you can see first she bounce with a small fireball maybe... and then a cow hit she hard hard while she was floating in air... sending she down... just 5 seconds more and she was going to cross goal... anyway good done Tindy! next week!
