I saw it, with my lady. Your impressions?
It was $12.50, which sucked, but it was pretty enjoyable, and pretty much packed. The audience reacted appropriately, laughing at some of the absurdities of the “skeptical” positions. Of the panelists, the two on the right end were really the only two that they needed to have there, but no one really stunk either. It was a pleasure to hear Kent Weeks’ comments, as it is obvious that his views about the Exodus dating have evolved somewhat — I don’t know if you’ve seen his “Ramesses” special where he tries to rewrite the Exodus account by claiming that the eldest son of Ramses II, who did indeed die young and get interred apparently in KV5, but it was dreadful. David Rohl was on screen just the right amount, and Finkelstein’s arrogance came through enough to make that impression, but not so much that what he was claiming didn’t get through. The documentarian never seemed to take a position, and documented his personal journey beautifully.
