The Day The Universe Changed
While Netflix hasn't seen fit to stock Connections (fortunately, the Seattle Public Library does), they do have The Day The Universe Changed, and Dawnise and I have been watching it over the past few nights.
While discussing it with colleagues, I ranted for a moment about how "obvious" Burke made the proof that vertical angles are equal and wondered why my Jr. High geometry teacher hadn't used a similar technique. The response from my colleague was "'cause he was your Jr. High geometry teacher, and this is James Burke."
Indeed.
