I think I like this comment the best out of this whole thread, because this is the part where we, as the FIRST community, get to react and do something in response to integration in mainstream media. Obviously there are inaccuracies and aspects people are less than happy with. That's what happens when you condense an entire weekend's worth of activity into 20 minutes of teenage tv drama. Is that all though? Could they have done better at portraying FIRST while still making a good story for viewers? My guess is probably. FIRST is complicated and tv producers are human. Worst case scenario, honestly, is that we get people coming into this program that believe that the contents of this episode are all FIRST has to offer. The good news is we can still teach them otherwise.
That being said, props to everyone involved for being so dedicated and getting as much right as they did.
