The fourth episode earned a solid five stars from me, and it wasn't because the creators came up with better humor or a greater concentration of it. The reason was exactly the opposite. Several times during this episode, the humor completely escaped me for a moment, leaving me frozen in place. Not even the popular Swedish band at the end could quite lighten the mood. Oh yes, this added some extra depth for me. But don't worry, there was still plenty of humor :-) I discovered that I've been an addict my whole life because I'm addicted to air, learned that faith can carry mountains and keep planes in the air, and gained insight into the enormous success of British designers with their single-use submarine, the Titan 1 C. / Lesson learned: Women are people too.
