I agree the whole thing came out positive despite a few attempts to play cute. The cheap shot at ALCOR "It looks high tech but the science is more like highschool" and the typical cheap attempt to shock the audience by talking about neurosuspensions aside, I thought it went well. The Muhlesteins and Linda Chamberlain came off great!!
