Nic is outstanding as the "play by play" lead person. Great at detailed explanations. But having a second person adds a little variety -- they just have a weak 2nd person. The Captain (and why is he called that? Former riverboat captain who fell overboard from too much boos?) plays the role of his sleepy, somewhat dense sidekick. Is he there to ask the simple, obvious questions that they think viewers are wondering? Usually he just states the obvious, and I catch myself thinking " if this guy is a retired police captain, it is no wonder so many crimes are unsolved." I think they could do so much better or add a 3rd person to be a better foil. Just when I think Nic needs a break from talking, the Captain drawls something obvious and I can't wait to hear Nic again. They both might be brilliant guys, but I feel most of what The Captain says is lost time.
