Episode Three is a fascinating study in fascism and indoctrination of the
political and religious stripe.  There is some sucki-ness going around in
I-III. Sometimes I wonder if this is due to the extreme wealth + heart attack
at a younger age working on the younger ones.

Your point about the initial product from one's heart, versus the commercialized
crap that comes out later, is a good one.   I've often said the same thing, and
use as an example the clunkiness but complete enjoyability of the first Wallace
and Gromit story ("A Grand Day Out").

I think your sociological observation ALSO applies to the question of "Can
povray be the modeler for great works, or do you need a 'state of the art'
software package?"
