Television Terrible episodes of great shows.

Michael Imperioli (Christopher) wrote that episode and I think it might have been his first one. He wrote others and got better as time went on. The Bee episode of Breaking Bad is pretty universally hated but I never minded it that much. -
"The Man Who Saw The Pandemic Coming" For decades, Dennis Carroll has been a leading voice about the threat of zoonotic spillover, the transmission of pathogens from nonhuman animals to us. Scientists are confident the current outbreak, which began in Wuhan, China, stemmed from a virus inherent in bats. In 2009, after years of studying infectious diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Carroll formed a USAID program called PREDICT, where he guided trailblazing research into viruses hiding, and waiting to emerge, in animals around the world. For a decade, PREDICT received annual federal funding of $15 to $20 million. In 2019, its funding wasn’t renewed. Carroll left USAID and formed a new program, the Global Virome Project, “to build on PREDICT’s scientific insights and experience,” he says.
