Varanasi was good mswood, why not?? :tup:
dryedmangoez:
I think there were better, more exciting episodes than Varanasi definitely.
If TAR17 were in HD, I think there'd be plenty of early episodes in the season that would be good submissions too.
theschnauzers:
Varanasi represented a visit to the highly important Ganges River and a religious tradition associated with one of the oldest civilizations on the planet.
The filming, especially from the river to the shorelines were spectacular. I think one has to view the choices not from how one views what happened to favorite teams on the leg, but more independently on how the episodes represented the best of the seasons(s), especially with the upgrade to high definition.
At least one of the trade news sites thinks that TAR has a really good shot of recapturing the reality competition Emmy, and I do think some of the technical awards are in play. Whether TAR can win one for Bert as director or Phil as host is harder to read. But I have hope we won't be seeing TAR going home empty handed as happened last year.
