SourceCode: Reboot the system
My problems with the show may be generational.
It's jumpy; it's unpleasant - both audio and video. I sometimes think that a portion of US society has decided that if something is new, if something is different - that somehow makes it good, that somehow makes it art. Well, "good" and "art" both require something other than just the qualities of new and different.
In addition, it's just more sound bite media. It bounces from subject to subject via sound bite after sound bite after sound bite interspersed with annoying noises.
I would personally prefer the allotted time and resources be spent on in-depth coverage of one subject or (even better) an in-depth series of one subject where a time allotment would not limit what was covered.
later-

I liked this weeks episode, the Howl Festival was cool and I always like the choices for activist nation. Sometimes the jumpy camera and graphics can be a bit distracting, but overall I like the packaging: its a good balance of eye candy and substance. I do wish some of the interviews could be a bit longer, but I think its a bit unfair to call it sound bite after sound bite. Good episode.

Dear, Admin.
I would like to do some work for source code in the area of american poverty! i have an endless supply of young educated college activists who are truly worried about their future in this currant global economy! we are taken the questions to the street and asking poor people what we should do as a whole! the only thing i find wrong about source code is that its not long enough to really focus on in depth topics! other than that i love the show and its production it just needs to be longer and more focused on central issues that effect us all! college film students every where need to take up their swords (cameras) and get involved! Poverty doesnt just effect the poor! it effects us all! most people do not even know about freespeech tv simply because they cant afford cable or dishnetwork tv! therefore we need to take the issues directly to them in the streets of this nation and record their voices and opinions that under normal circumstances would not be heard!

I've watched the show a few times and honestly find it somewhat chaotic. For me, (a healthcare professional in my mid-30's) the music and graphics can overload the senses at times and actually detract from the content of the show.
I can appreciate the fact that younger viewers might identify with the show more than I do. Maybe that's who the show is designed more for? If it were me, I'd incorporate music from musicians like David Gilmour (of Pink Flloyd fame)
