1. Yes, I noticed it last night and am grateful

since I can't record it. I am ADHD and a slow reader so when there are captions I miss a lot. I made a bright pink post-it to remind me.

Pete Coyote's voice as a narrator is a perfect choice too!

3. Episode 1 was excellent

The history of Vietnam and its struggles before America got involved were ignored by many, including "experts" advising presidents. Burns included it and pulled no punches even though I'm sure there are things some would like to have had more focus on like the fact the Vietnamese fought off the Chinese for almost a millennium. But overall really well done, as one would expect.
