At first, I thought it was very interesting, but that it was just some jumped up extension of meccano modelling.

When he started to talk about the the creatures "binary brain", and about how they sense water though, I was totally taken aback. Absolutely fascinating to watch!

Amazing. Like, really.

Inspiring and every other positive word I can probably think of.
