I don’t know if this dual subject storyline is working for me this season, especially since Martin and Malcolm only met once in their lives. I know the producers wanted to compare the two men’s lives and missions but the format basically cuts their story in half compared to previous subjects

I'm liking it a lot, but I don't know what percentage of what I like is poetic licensse vs actually true. I thought I knew everything about both men, but they are highlighting things I wasn't really thinking about in some cases.
