I remember the form changes in particularly bothering me a bit at first, being so used to the other shows, but nowadays, I can completely understand and even agree with why the decision was made. Those sequences were what allowed for so much of the show's most extreme visual flair, and looking back, they still hold up great. It's the kind of stock footage where you're glad to see it a bunch, you know?

I feel so sorry for the poor bastards who live and/or work in the top floors of that building. You know that "several lower stories may repeatedly turn into a dragon and fly away, dropping your office full-force into the newly vacated space" was never mentioned in the renter's agreement and there's no way that insurance covers that.
